Hi,
Mmm.. If I understand correctly, I am past the stage that you referred to me in the guide - I already have a USB stick with Live CD - I think that's what they suggest there? I actually want to install a fedora on part of the hard disk. But I could maybe mount the full DVD .iso using the USB stick live version, after mounting the Vista partition which contains that ISO, and run the installation from the mounted .iso - that's what I was trying to look for in google. I was hoping it is possible to do that, instead of having to boot from the full DVD version for full installation (since I dont have a DVD or a 4GB USB stick...)
Thanks for your answer.

boot loader to understand the Windows filesystem so it can find the iso
file.
Have you read the Fedora Installation Guide? There's a section

specifically about installing from USB media:
