I've decided to install linux - fedora 3 core , I wanna run an XP / Linux dual boot.

At the mo im having some queries. I have a 80gb harddrive. I have partioned it c:\ = 30 gb & d:\ = 50 gb I have XP Pro installed on the d:\ drive. At first i thought there'd be little problems.

However just recently while testing a file explorer program i made in vb6 i notced that the c:\ drive contains certain "valuable" files which are not visible in windows explorer unless i have "do not show system files" off...

I'm worried that if i install linux on my c:\ drive it will be formatted and XP will not be able to start up as it needs those files...

here's which files they are:

What should i do?!
