First of all, right now I have windows xp installed on the entire hard drive. I wanted to do an instalation of fedora core 2 and have windows boot it. As in, grub or lilo shouldn't boot, the windows boot up manager should be able to do this with linux.

I heard about the program Boot Part, but it is really confusing. Does anyone have a step by step explanation of what to do to add linux to the xp boot menu?

My system:

HP a250n: Pentium 4 2.6 GHz, HT tech.
512 MB memory
HP 300e DVD+RW drive (and a Samsung 440SV1204H cd rom drive)
120 GB hard drive (will resize windows to have 100 Gb and Fedora 20 Gb)
NVidia GeForce 4 MX

Thank you for your time!
is my middle name

I'd suggest looking at the ini file (forget what it's called) to see the settings that WinXP uses to boot itself, and copy that and modify it accordingly (the lines for XP that is).

I think I may have tried this at some point in time, but grub is actually pretty easy to work with, so I just use grub. Good luck!
