Linux on Windows XP

Hello. I have Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and I want to install Fedora Core 1 on it. But, whenever the installation process gets to the partitioning part, it displays this message:
“The partition table on device hda was unreadable. To create
new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loass of ALL
DATA on this drive.

This operation will override any previois installation choices
about which drives to ignore.

Would you like to initialize this drive, erasing ALL DATA?

[No] [Yes]”

Should I say yes, or no? I don’t want to overwrite Microsoft Windows XP if thats what it’ll do. What should I do?
