The current version of the Fedora installer cannot do partition resizing
so you'll have to use a different tool.  What I have done in the past
for machines that already have XP is:

1) Boot into XP.

2) Install Partition Magic.

3) Use Partition Magic to shrink the XP partition leaving free space.

4) Reboot to allow Partition Magic to do its work.

5) Reboot again to make sure XP still works

6) Install Fedora allowing it to use the free space you created in step
3.
