I too got the same kind of errors and sfdisk aborted. I just installed Fedora core 4 and have Windows XP home edition. Mine is a laptop with intel celeron processor. I thought the problem was only with Fedora core 2, and I was just one unlucky one to get it on Core 4, but now I see I am not alone

Making Fedora Core 2 and Windows play well together

I just installed FC4 on an Intel Pentium 4 also running Windows 2003 Server SP1 and I ran into the same error with sfdisk. This is a known bug with sfdisk and is addressed at this link:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159418

The bug report gives a patch for the sfdisk source and a reference to the update available for sfdisk. I fixed the sfdisk overflow error by running "yum update util-linux.i386".
