Try this: open up windows fdisk. Set that unpartitioned space to a secondary partition in windows. Then format it to Fat32 (not NTFS), or don't format it if you cant get it to Fat32. Redhat/Fedora can't detect NTFS out of the box. The try installing.
It more than likely won't fix your problem, because from what I can tell, you are getting some kind of kernel panik during intial bootup. Please provide more information on what your screen is saying.
