    I shrunk my Windows XP partition, but when I go to install Fedora 10, there is seems to be one possible partition. Any help would be appreciated.

    You should actually have two partitions (the recovery partition and the XP partition) and some unallocated space - the space freed up when you shrank your XP partition. The Fedora installer should let you divide that unallocated space into one or more partitions. HTH
