Ok, so I just installed Fedora Core 3, through DVD (downloaded from linuxiso.org) on a 80gb ext3 partition (part of a 250gb hdd (windows has 160gb space)) and when installing I accidentally set Windows as default boot and I know that the boot.ini file needs to be edited, but I don't understand instructions from Bootpart. Could somebody tell me the command to add the linux boot into the boot.ini from Bootpart? I am so confused - please help!

The command you are looking for is:
bootpart Linux c:\bootsect.lnx "Linux"

Or manually edit the file c:\boot.ini. Add the line c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" to the end of the file.

HTH :)
