Ja get yourself a copy of either Mandrake, Suse or Redhat. Then just do as PB says and boot from the CD Rom. The software will do all! Be ware though that the partition scheme willbe different to that used by MS. You will have at least the following partitions created /(root partition), /home(where the users home files reside), /usr and /swap. The software will have wizards that will guide you along the way. I am currently using Redhat 9 which is actualy simpler than XP to install.

Jan if you can try Mandrake as that is the most newbie friendly distro out.
