Yeah, I believe you.  That document discusses installing Fedora without 
a CD drive.  You use Grub for NT to load the vmlinuz and initrd.img 
files, from which you can perform a network install.

The problem that you're going to run in to is that Fedora does not 
include a tool to resize NTFS partitions, so before you can install 
Fedora, you need to find a way to free space on your drive.
