No. Windows' installer will unceremoniously blow away the master boot
record.
But that's not a big deal. Have your Fedora installation CD/DVD handy.
After Windows is done, boot off the Fedora DVD into rescue mode. The rescue
mode should find your Fedora install easy, and mount it as /mnt/sysimage,
then:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
/sbin/grub-install
Exit out, and reboot.
