Firstly , use a boot floppy and boot up the system and then partition and
format the HDD , after partitioning / formatting the HDD into 2 equal
partitions , install Windows ME first on hda1 and then FC on hda2 using
these partitions .
( windows should be installed first because it wants to control the master
boot record on the HDD )

swap 512 Mb
/boot 100 Mb
/root 9300Mb ( or balance of partition )

( typical set up for a workstation )

Let FC install Grub as the bootloader
