Default Problem Converting Linux PC to Dual-Boot (XP, Linux)

I have a Fedora Core 2 Linux PC (Dell Optiplex GX60) that I need to
convert to a
Dual-Boot machine (WIndows XP, Fedora Core 6).

I installed XP, wiping out the existing Linux, but when I go to
partition the disk
via Knoppix/qtparted, the Knoppix CD is not seen on boot, it goes
right to
WIndows every time.

I suspect this is due to the fact that there was a pre-existing Linux
install.

So: what needs to be done here so I can run qtparted from Knoppix,
partition the disk, install FC6 on the back half the disk and get this
done?

Thanks,
-Richard Vaughn
