Welcome to Major Geeks.

First. You should have put this in the Linux section.

I just happen to have that CD. I have always liked Mepis. It is a great LiveCD. Although I have Gentoo installed. Anyway, read this file on the CD: /mepis/MEPIS-QUICK-START.html
It gives lots of info.

If you have a problem with Grub or Lilo or whichever boot-manager you install, just do a fixboot and fixmbr using your Windows disk.
