Dual boot Fedora 12 with Windows 7
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop with Windows 7 installed in it. Now I want it to dual boot with Fedora 12. For this I tried to shrink the windows partition and install Fedora in it. But whenever I try to write linux in the unallocated space, it says it does not have enough space. I have a 320 GB hard drive. Windows is installed in 100GB. The rest is unallocated. Still Fedora is not able to read that free space.
What should I do to dual boot Fedora 12 with Windows 7?
Please help.

Thank you for reply.
I tried that. But when I tried to install F12 it could not detect the free space available. I gives a message that there is not enough space in the disk. I also tried to install ubuntu 9.10. But it gives the message that available almost 240GB space is "unusable"?
So this is the problem I am facing... If you are free the you can chat with me on gtalk... My gmail id is -

Thank you for your reply...
I have successfully installed both windows 7 and fedora 12 just few days back. I could not partition it using the tools commonly used by default. Then I used gparted to make the partitions. That solved my problem.
