How to Partitions the disk to install FC4



Hi, i have two disks. Windows XP is on hda1. I want to install FC4 on
hdb1(former OS is windows 2K). There are many important files on hda2
and hdb2. Then I choose Manually partition with Disk Druid. I set a
swap partiton(600M) and a data partition mounted at / (the remain of
hdb1)
.. When I click the NEXT, it continue to the next installation step.

But the Installation Guide say:

A Fedora Core system has at least three partitions:

A data partition mounted at /boot

A data partition mounted at /

A swap partition

What's the matter?

If I choose Automatic partitioning,Keep all partitions and use only
existing free space, it does not destroy my windows,all right?
