Wait a minute, I need to back this train up a whole lot.
You have a BIOS Boot partition. That means this disk uses GPT partitioning, not
MBR partitioning. Windows on BIOS hardware will only boot from a disk that's
MBR partitioned. Windows on UEFI hardware will only boot from a disk that's GPT
partitioned.
So you actually have some difficulty with this layout if your computer is BIOS
based, it will refuse to install to this GPT partitioned disk. And if it's
UEFI, there's some difficulty because then it means you've somehow enabled the
UEFI CSM-BIOS when installing Fedora. And combining UEFI booting Windows with
BIOS booting Fedora poses some problems, I'd have to go look at the various
bugs in bugzilla to refresh my memory about it.
In any case, we need to know if your computer's firmware is BIOS or UEFI.
