Dual Booting Fedora Core 5 and Win XP

So how would one go about installing both and having a screen on boot up asking which you'd like to boot into?

Appreciate all the help I can get, I'm a linux n00b.

your gonna need a separate partition or 2 on your HD for fedora
windows probably took the whole disk when you installed, unless you told it not to
so you will probably need to resize your windows partition or reinstall
i know nothing of resizing, try google, im sure someone here can help too

as for the "screen on boot up asking which you'd like to boot into"
the linux installation will take care of that, it will install grub


google dual boot linux installation
or something like that
read up
you will love it

Well, actually, I was just going to format XP tonight and start fresh (I haven't done it in at least 2 months).

Good deal, Didn't know if GRUB would be installed or not with fedora 5.

Do I have to format the linux partition to NTFS or is it under something else?

you need to install windows first.

once windows is installed, follow this guide: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc5/

linux does not use ntfs or fat32. usually it is ext2, ext3, or reiserfs...
