I have a laptop that has FC5 installed on it. I never thought to leave space on the hdd if I ever needed to install windows. I have a windows pc at home. I've been traveling for work recently and my laptop is all I have and I now need to install windows. My FC5 setup was partitioned using the default partitioning scheme using LVM during installation. I have read the forums and know that I must resize my file system and then my logical volume to make room for Windows on the hdd. Its is also the / partition that I will be resizing so I need to do this in rescue mode with the partition unmounted.
The problem is that I dont have my fedora install cd's with me, I have a usb key that is bootable and a copy of the fc5 rescue cd image on my hdd. I might be wrong but I thought that you could just boot with the key and point to the location on the hdd where the rescue cd image is and it would work. This is where I have problems, I boot using the usb key, choose linux rescue at the boot prompt, then after entering the keyboard layout and whatnot it asks me for the location of the rescue cd image. Here I choose /dev/hda2 as the partition (/dev/hda1 is /boot) and /mnt/install as the directory where the image is. It fails to read it. the error it gives is something like
/tmp/hdimage /mnt/install unable to read directory.
What is going on? or is this not the way to do this?

Thanks for helping

I've realized after writing this that the heading is not appropriate, sorry.
