But that doesn't mean that you must login to system as root
Just type su in terminal, and then launch your favourite editor (vi, kedit, gedit, etc ..)

Your XP installation is likely to use NTFS which is not supported by Fedora out of the box. Check out the Fedora FAQ to learn how to access NTFS partitions.
