what do you mean that fedora is on F drive?
what kind of filesystem you are using on fedora?

You can see windows partitions from linux but you can't see linux partions from windows.

try post here output of command
# fdisk -l
from fedora.

From Linux you'll be able to access your WinXP files (read only, I think) but with a stock XP system you won't be able to see your Linux files from Windows.

I can't tell exactly what parition your 'C' drive is,  but assuming that it is your first your could do this on your Linux box, while logged on as root:

mkdir /mnt/C
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/C

If that doesn't work then you'll need to do an:

fdisk -l /dev/hda

and determine from there which partition to mount on /mnt/C.
