Installing Fedora Core 2 Problems

I am very new at learning Linux/Unix so please bear with me. I am taking a Unix course and I had to install Fedora Core 2 on my laptop PC using Microsoft Virtual PC software. After installing the virtual PC software, I installed the fedora cd's that came with the course. My problem is this...when I installed Fedora it wiped out windows. I can get Fedora up and running, however, I do not have windows nor access to the internet. I use my local cable company as my internet provider.

Any suggestions??? It is much appreciated!!

Thanks!!
