With FC17 the installation wizard doesn’t appear, just some error messages from dracut. I think this trick finished working when LVM support was added to Fedora, perhaps at some point after FC9. Still unsolved as of today! There is some workaround among comments of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=650672 . I was able to install FC17 onto FC12 by installing grub2 first, then playing with some of its commands during boot (search for “rd.break=pre-udev” there).

Still thanks to you, Kulbir! This post led me to the right path.

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.
