I have not experienced that issue. Don't know how
to answer the question.
I read your configuration, and I must say you have
more partitions for windows than my case.
I just had the windows 7 sda1. That was it!
I used a live CD to fdisk the drive as follows:
sda2 became /
sda3 became swap.
install fedora from DVD
Done!
