Does mean that if you do have any data files still on the partition, there will be no way of recovering them

Well ... I would have tried to do a proper install if the XP disk had run.... rather oddly the way I got around it was by only plugging in the HD after the Windows XP install disk had booted up!!!!
Odd... has FC4 had no problems running from this drive so it wasn't corrupt!!

plonk in your FC4 on the HD that you wanted to have it on.
I have been told that it is better to have windows on before linux, if your doing a dual boot.
