Installing arch linux (on a logical drive) with windows & fedora already installed


So its something like i have windows 7 (32-bit) and fedora 13 (64-bit) already installed side by side.
Now, i want to try arch linux (64-bit).
There is no primary partition left for arch. Can I install it on a logical partition without any hitch? If so then how? Its just freeing up some space for a logical drive and then assign it to arch ?
Also, I plan to remove fedora after i have my arch system complete, and make arch the main linux system. So in case i install arch on a logical drive, then will there be any problem after removing fedora? i mean allocating fedora space to arch, and if possible then assign the primary partition of fedora to arch..
If possible then how ?

The answer to your question is "yes," just carefully follow this guide step-by-step:

And if you need additional information on multibooting with GRUB:

Good luck!
