You should let linux create the partitions as Mark said - just use partition magic to resize your current partition(s) so there's some unpartitioned space, and the installer will be able to set up partitions in there.

You might be able to use the partition you made in partition magic for linux, see if you can recognize which it is in the list of available partitions (if there is one, never installed Fedora Core so I don't know what the installer works like).

^^ I am guessing that the Fedora partitioner complained that there was only one Linux partition available, when it wants to set up at least TWO (one for root, and one for swap). By default, the Fedora installer likes to set up a small /boot, as well.
