A linux live CD allows you to run a full functionally linux environment 
from a cd without touching anything on your hard drive. 
 
A linux install cd allows you to install the operating system to your hard 
drive. 
 
Most distro?s (including Fedora, which I think is what you said you were 
using) now include a live cd option on the install cd. So you can boot to 
the live cd to make sure all your hardware is supported before you install 
anything to your hard drive.
 
A well known live cd would be knoppix which is made especially for that 
purpose.

so what's the difference between a Linux live CD vs. Linux install CD?

If that's what you have it will work.  Depending on the version you can 
get the partition info from MS's fdisk.

I recommend that any power user have one or more Linux live CD's in 
their toolkits.

Relating to your other post I recommend you learn just a little more 
about partitions.
