Michael Lee (Krnmikel) is having the same problem, and he has a completely different computer. We both installed Fedora Core 4 x86\_64 on our computers and we are trying to reinstall windows. All that happens is it asks if we want to boot from CD, we say yes. Then It says “Windows is inspecting your hardware” (console text on black bg) and then the screen just stays black and empty after that.
