If you've already installed XP, use Gparted from the Live CD to resize the XP partition and make space for the F10 install.

The installer acts like it is going to re-size the Windows partition if I just click on "Write changes to disk?" I just got to that point when I received your message.
I'm tempted to let it do it!

The action "Write changes to disk?" is not resizing the partition. It's either going to take all of it or use available remaining disk space. I may be wrong, but I think there's an option to install Fedora on the remaining free space of the disk (with Win already installed).
If you don't mind spending another hour installing Win... let it go. If you don't want to take chances, get the Live CD and it will be easier.
No Aldo - resizing ntfs, ext2 or ext3 partition is indeed an installation option. It's in the installation guide...
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-disk-druid.html
and it works, I know because I have used it.

Yes, it does work. I tried it myself.
I've never used disk druid's option to resize ntfs partitions previously. I always choose to do custom layouts, but having the resize option it's a plus. Thanks for the tip.
