I agree with Michael.  Grab F-12-Alpha
(http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-prerelease) or a recent nightly live
image (http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/) and boot
the installer.  At the disk partitioning step, be sure to deselect and
drives you do *not* want to erase ... and select only your new drive
(see
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/s1-diskpartsetup-x86.html).

At the bootloader configuration, be sure to install the bootloader to
the MBR of your new drive (see
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/s1-x86-bootloader.html#x86-bootloader-adv).

Good luck!

Thanks,
James
