Are you using the Universal USB installer from PendriveLinux?
Universal USB Installer – Easy as 1 2 3 | USB Pen Drive Linux
What operating system do you have on your computer?
You should have an option during the installation to select partitions to install to. You haven't given us any information on your computer, operating system(s), partition information, number of hard drives?? Do you know how much free space you actually have on your drive(s)?

Welcome to the forums!

If you should continue to run into problems, another Fedora installer option you might consider would be UNetbootin:

UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads

Note that it works under Windows, or Linux.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the prompt reply yancek bro ...
Yes, i tried the universal USB installer from pendrivelinux...
i have 4 partitions wid windows7 on c drive and windows xp on e drive... i want to install Fedora on F drive coz it has enough free space for Fedora's installation...
c,d,e and f drives have 2,5,37 and 39 GB free space respectively... i get options like shrinking the drive etc.. i tried tge shrink drive and install option but the shrinking process dint seem to terminate.. so i aborted the installation...

Also i wud like to ask one more thing.. if i burn the iso image on a CD and boot the CD, wud i face the same problems? will i get options to choose the partition in which i have to install Fedora if i boot the CD? :-/

You will encounter the same problem whether using a usb device or cd/dvd. If I read your
info correctly you state there is 39GB of freespace which you intend to install Fedora to.
Now if that "freespace" is formatted already as FAT/NTFS then there is your problem and
if that is the case then use the disk management tool in Windows 7 to delete that 39GB
FAT/NTFS partition and that will leave you with 39GB of "unallocated freespace" to install to.

Now when you go to install from the usb or cd/dvd and get to the part of how you you want
to install choose "freespace" and the installer should continue.
