Sorry ... you're trying to install an operating system on another operating system? ... are you intending to dual-boot or use a virtualisation product ?

I expect your windows 7 installation is using up the entire disk. You need to shrink one of your windows partitions to make room to install Fedora 15. No more specific advice can be given without your partition information.
