Well first of all xp has no ideal what a ext3 partition is.
And second, to get your boot loader setup on hda track 0 which is the first drive in the computer,
1. Put your #1 DVD Fedora disk in the cdrom and it will boot off that, at the boot: prompt type in linux rescue and follow the instructions.
2. when it gets to a point where it tells you to type in sh-3.1# chroot /mnt/sysimage , do so and you will get another prompt sh-3.1#, there you type in grub-install /dev/hda after it comes back to the prompt again, providing you didn't get a error, type in, exit and reset your computer and take cd out of drive
3.After rebooting you will get a blue screen (no not the blue screen of death) that shows the linux kernel version, if you want to go into Xp hit the enter key fast and you will get another blue screen and you down arrow to "other" and hit enter key again.
4. If you want to go into Linux at the first blue screen don't hit enter key and it will auto boot into Linux.
LOL
