A solution I use is Qemu: it allows you to run another OS in your linux
session, no need to have a partition for it. So I have an W2k and XPHome
(official) installed on my notebook ;-)
For your CD, try to see if you can read it from your linux session and
try to boot from your FC4 CD, you will then know if it's a CD problem or
a boot one.
