i have FC2 right now but i can't handle not being able to play my games. so im going to dual boot. and i really dont feel like having to install fedora again so im going to install windows and then use a live cd to rewrite the MBR with grub or lilo(?). so i am looking for a small live cd to A) use qtparted to partition my drive and B) rewrite the MBR
 
Knoppix

Has qtparted and uses lilo. It easily can install itself as a dual-boot (grab kernel source and install video drivers and it'd be set for gaming). There must be about 100 custom versions of Knoppix out there too (one even based on fedora called Barry Linux).

Basically all you'd need to do is:
install windows
boot the live CD
mount your fedora root and boot partitions
chroot to your mounted fedora's root partition
check your lilo.conf to make sure its right
update the MBR with the command: sudo /sbin/lilo -v
