Default Hard disk boot problem

Hello all,
Got a 8GB HDD C:\ and a 20GB HDD D:\
The 8 GB hdd has Win98 and RedHat 8
The 20GB hdd has Win2K
Wish to erase the win98 part and use the 8GB completely for Linux.
Have the bootable installables for Fedora Core 4 in 3 cds.
Currently the computer boots up based on GRUB that detects DOS and
Linux
Later the focus is shifted to the Windows boot manager which gives the
option between Windows 98 and Windows 2000

Can anyone guide me to carry out Fedora Core installation on my 8GB
hdd
without losing the bootability to Windows 2000??
Tried booting thru D:\ from the BIOS but Windows 2K did not boot. Any
pointers here??

Thanks in advance,
Padmanab Sridhar R.
