DELL Inspiron 1520 CD/DVD Drive problem

[JPGargoyle]

I currently have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with Windows Vista on it. I downloaded the DVD ISO for 64bits architectures since I have a Core 2 Duo in my machine. I then burned it on DVD.

The problem occurs immediately after I choose to install Fedora with a GUI. Fedora asks me for the language on my keyboard and then ask myself from what I want to install Fedora. Therefore I choose CD-ROM drive and that's when the error appeared.

"Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type". I guess Fedora does not recognize my DVD player. I can also choose a driver from a list, but nothing seems to work.

What should I do?

Under vista you have a utility to resize your partition c:.

Create a small fat32 partition to put your iso above. Once the installation is the updated fedora completed. You destroyed the partition and you recover the space for vista.
