You'll need to defragment and shrink your XP partition so as to create some unallocated space. Anaconda (the Fedora installer) does not handle this for you. I did this on my laptop about a year ago; the gory details are at http://www.charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html. See the sections on Tools and Cohabitation. You may also find the GParted LiveCD (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php) useful if you aren't a command line fan. Er, just in case: back up your XP partition first!
