If you don’t have an existing install of Linux to ‘boot-strap’ the install of Fedora then you can use ‘grub4dos’ from Windows to start it off. You need to add an entry to your boot.ini in Windows for grub4dos then create a menu.lst file as explained above.
You also need to make sure you’ve got a partition available to install it. You can use Parted Magic to resize/repartition your drive. This can be installed to a USB stick so you don’t have to mess around with CD’s.

If you don’t have Linux already installed, you can burn the ISO to a DVD and install it right away.

You forget to mention two things –

1. The iso should be in root of the partition in which you put it (because some distros don’t allow to enter directory path eg. Ubuntu )
2. The file system type should be readable by the distro you are installing. eg. Ubuntu reads NTFS but Fedora doesn’t .

@W1zaRd
1. I never used ubuntu. So was not aware about it. Thanks for mentioning.
2. Again the same excuse But the mentioned filesystems (FAT32/ext2/ext3) are readable by all distros.
