Let me see if I can clear this up a little bit.
The days of pre-formatting a hard disk drive prior to installation are pretty much dead and gone. Most of the 'modern' operating systems will look at your physical drives and then search for raw, unused pieces/parts as a preferred place to install themselves.
Basically what you are doing when you pre-format a partition using a M$ proprietary format is to tell any other operating system out there that the partition is spoken for and in use. It is kind of like telling it "Micro$oft is using this area and NOBODY else can have it!"
By default, Linux does not read or write to NTFS. If you want to add this capability later on, you are welcome to do so but it is NOT a standard feature.
I readily admit that I do not have a SCSI disk in any of my boxes and I have never attempted to load an OS on one. The best I have done so far was a SATA drive in my notebook. There are probably others out here that can point you in better directions regarding the use of SCSI drives.
What I would suggest is to use the same M$ utility that you used to shrink the partition in the first place and simply remove the formatting from the space you want to install your F7 in.
Once you have removed the NTFS file system from the partition you wish to use for Fedora, then you boot the box with the F7 install media and check to see if it now gives you different options than you saw the first time around.
If you do not have clean, unformatted space available for the install to find, then it will definitely complicate the install process.
Hope this information helps!
