What I would do for installing Fedora on my computer:
I would partition my HD and delete the partition so it leaves a free space
(not formatted).
The I would get a copy of the livecd and burn it (or put it on a USB disk)
and boot from it.
In the installation, I would choose guided partitioning.

the guided partitioning makes it quite painless :)
