How do you know that the partition was corrupted? Which version of fedora core was it? FC 4 and 5 work on SATA drives.

It didnt get corrupted, just accidentally created a new primary partition I guess, That can be cleared via the XP boot disc. Use a tested media to install FC5, errors will return drastic results!
