    Convert that FAT32 partition to a Linux one, like ext3 or ReiserFS. Most new Linux distributions have installers that can do it automatically.

    Use XP's Disk Administrator to format the partition to FAT32 or NTFS.
    It means RH created a 8 MB partition to the beginning of the drive and tried to install the OS there. I think it's a bug in Disk Druid or the installer. I've solved it by creating Linux partitions manually with fdisk before installing the operating system (can be done with RH by booting to rescue mode).
