It's been ages since I dual-booted, but the thing that snagged a lot of
people was that the Fedora installer looking for free space to install
to is not looking for a partition which isn't full, it's looking for an
area of the drive that hasn't been used at all (unpartitioned).
There's a few ways to handle that:
* Leave some un-partitioned space on a drive to install into.
* Shrink an existing partition down, leaving empty space after it to
install into.
* Erase an empty partition, freeing that space up to install to.
* Do a manual install and choose your already prepared empty partition
to install into ("custom partitioning" in the installer allows you
to pick existing partitions to use, if they're suitable). This does
mean that partition has to be using a suitable *filing system* for
the Linux install (i.e. not a Windows filing system).
