Dual Booting

I first had windows xp 64-bit installed on my system, and then installed fedora 10 on a partition (partition was created while installing fedora).
When installation was completed, I could not boot on Windows or Fedora, I keep on getting this disc error and system asking to press ctrl+alt+del to restart system.
How can I have both OS installed on my hard drive and choose which one to boot on start up. I am thinking to format hard drive again, partitioning and installing Linux and Windows. Would thhat be a better choice, and which OS to install first.

NAME
imediff2 - An interactive fullscreen 2-way merge tool SYNOPSIS
imediff2 [-m] [-u] [-a] [-b] [-c] [-N new-file] [-o outputfile] {file1} {file2} DESCRIPTION
Merge two (slightly different) files interactively with a user friendly fullscreen interface in text mode. Imediff2 shows the differences of given two files (in color if the terminal supports them), lets you scroll the file and toggle changes be- tween old and new version one by one. If the 'unresolved' mode is enabled, you can optionally save both versions. Additionally, if the $EDITOR environment variable is set or if /usr/bin/editor exists and is executable, you can also launch an external editor and manually edit the half-merged file before saving it, perhaps to resolve the 'unresolved' parts. Empty lines are shown in reverse colors so you see that you can select them. If a line is missing completely from one file, imediff2 dis- plays it as a reversed '?'. While it seems to take one line in the editing phase, it is naturally not saved into the output file. To see a list of keyboard commands, hit h or ? in the editor. The program exits with status 0 if the changes were saved, 1 if the merging was aborted and 2 if the parameters were invalid. OPTIONS
-o outputfile, --output=outputfile Write output to given file. If missing, changes will not be saved. -N, --new-file Treat absent files as empty. -m, --mono Force monochrome display. -u, --unresolved Enable 'unresolved' mode (see above). -a Start with version A (default). -b Start with version B. -c Start with unresolved changes (implies -u). -h, --help Show summary of options and exit. -V, --version Show version and exit. KEYBOARD COMMANDS
The following keyboard commands are available in the editor. h, ? Show commands. up, down, left, right Move in document. page up, page down Move a screenfull. enter Toggle selected change. n, tab, space Jump to next change. p Jump to previous change. a Set current chunk to version A. b Set current chunk to version B. u Set current chunk to unresolved. shift+a Set all changes to version A. shift+b Set all changes to version B. shift+u Set all changes to unresolved. e Launch external editor. r Discard editor-made changes. (Available only after e.) x, s Save and exit. q, ctrl+c Exit without saving. home, end Jump to start or end. SEE ALSO
