You must make sure that Windows installs in its old partition on your
hard drive (don't let it take over any other partitions).  Also be aware
that Windows will overwrite your grub or lilo boot manager, so make sure
you have the rescue CD (FC2/3) or disk 1 of the install set (RHL) so
you can boot off it and restore your lilo/grub loader.  If you don't
understand that, let us know.
