Surely if you have 3.2TB of disk-space,
you much have enough space for a separate partition to install Fedora-12
in parallel to Fedora-9?

I'd just get a Fedora-12 Live CD, see if it works on its own,
and if it does install it on a separate partition.

In my experience, the chances of pre-upgrade from F-9 to F-12 working
are practically zero.
