This is not a difficult problem to solve, fortunately! :-) You simply need to have sufficient free space in the partition itself, or on the hard disk outside that partition. Most people find themselves in the first situation. You may find things work best if you go to your Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management, and analyze and defragment your partition first. I'm afraid help with Windows is outside this list's topic, but the procedure should be a fairly simple point-and-click operation. Once you've done that, during the Fedora installation, you can edit the existing Windows XP partition on your disk during the disk partitioning step. Most people choose "Custom setup" for the disk partitioning to get into the partition editing screen. Click the checkbox to resize the existing Windows partition to leave enough space for Fedora. Then establish partitions for the Fedora installation. You can find more information about disk partitioning here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/ch-disk-partitioning.html I recommend reading all of Chapter 12, but especially these sections: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/sn-partitioning-general.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/sn-partitioning-advice.html Fedora automatically detects your Windows XP installation and sets up a dual-boot configuration for you. When you boot your computer, you are able to choose between booting Fedora or Windows by interrupting the GRUB boot screen with any key. -- Paul W.
