There are some things you should keep in mind at all times when
performing actions like this:
Do you wish to install on a different physical drive: disconnect the
other drives
Do you wish to install on a different partition on the same physical
drive: be verry sure wich partition contains what. Write down
partition sizes and filesystem types if you can, so you can verify
them by their size and file type (you can not be certain windows will
see the same sequence on the disk as nix does)
This is just to prevent you from installing to the wrong partition. It
happens a lot and is is almost irreversable, but you will have heard
that when installing Fedora.
