Making Fedora Core 2 and Windows play well together

I too had this issue just happen to me.

Specs of system for install:

1 120gig Hard Drive (Windows XP dedicated)
1 13gig Hard Drive (For Linux. Mandrake 10 previously installed here)

Did the Fedora Core 2 install, and no Windows XP. (insert beads of sweat on forehead here. I have a lot of info on Windows XP, and did NOT want to do a reinstall.)

I found this page and tried the steps given, but sfdisk gives me "command not recognized" (beads of sweat grow to drops)

Due to information in this article, I tested out changing my disk read mode in BIOS from Auto to LBA.

I now have Windows XP again. (sweat no longer an issue)
