In trouble again I see

Install windows first.

Try and keep the windows partition under 8 GB and the first primary partition.

Then install fedora.

You then have a choice of Windows Boot Manager or Lilo or Grub for
Booting the system. Most how-tos explain how to do it using Windows
Boot Manager.

Windows likes to have its system volume as the first primary
partition. This is where your problem is.

You could try hiding /dev/hda1 using fdisk or other utility but this
may nuke your Fedora Install if XP is sucessfully installed.

Glad to see that Fedora installed seemesly on an IQON Laptop
