I can not say for sure, but I assume that the Windows partition is still present on your drive and it has about no space for anything else. run the installer again and select 'manual partitioning' andhave a look what you have on there. Delete them all and create a ~128 MB /boot and a 2 x your physical but at least 1 GB swap partition and use the rest for the / (root) partition, since you only have 12 GB available.

Yesterday I ran up2date to update my system. It downloaded number of packages and while upgrading gnome, it failed and error out. I was not given any option and the system went down. When I started my machine, it started all the services but was not able to start GNOME panel. Taking this as an opportunity to install Windows, I install windows by formatting entire disk. Installation went well but when I booted, my system it displayed me "GRUB". nothing happens after that. > > Then I re-install FC4 giving him entire hard disk.
