So...
You want to
1. Boot into Windows
2. Start up a fedora install (how?)
3. Partition the drive that the running Windows is on
4. Install Fedora to that new partition
5. Blow away the existing Windows install
It fails at step 2 and 3.
Go down to the store, buy a 8GB USB stick, boot from that, install

Best solution
4gb usb stick costs like $5... certainly you can afford!
That said, what you want to do IS possible but not really straightforward and dangerous (could leave your pc not bootable if not done correctly)
Shrink windows partition.
copy linux iso contents to new temporary partition
write syslinux to MBR and install to new partition (maybe unetbootin or linuxliveusb can do this part for you)
boot/install fedora
delete+extend the temporary partition
