dual booting's pretty much the same across the board no matter what distro.

1.a. if you have only one HDD, make sure there's enough space for at LEAST 2 more partitions (swap, linux OS). i'd recommend 10gb at the least. i'd also recommend more than two partitions (separate /home partition, for instance, ESPECIALLY if it's a multi-user machine).
b. (and this is the ideal situation- safer, more newbie-friendly, etc.) if you have two separate drives, use one for windows and the other for FC7.

2. from here, simply configure GRUB (it's a bit more complex but we'll gladly walk you through it. it is, however, beyond the scope of this e-mail, as there are entire books on the subject itself. that's something we'd have to help you in real-time over an IRC session or something. (IIRC, knoppix has xchat so you can IRC and use that to chroot and set up grub without an actual working linux yet)

a couple questions:

1. what encouraged you to choose fedora core?
2. a.is this a server box?
2. b. if so, why dual-boot and not have separate boxes/run a virtual machine?
