I was wondering if there was a way to install Fedora onto a separate partition without using a CD, DVD, or flash drive. I, of course, have the .iso file, but I currently do not have any form of media to put it on. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit and have already partitioned of 25GB specifically for Fedora.

You could try this. I'm not sure if they support F11 yet (it's still pretty new), but you could always install an older version and then upgrade through YUM.
As always make sure to back up your data before you try anything.

I think the simplest solution would be to just buy some DVD-RWs. They are pretty cheap these days.

To truly do it with no media, I'd first recommend backing up your data.
While In windows, rename the boot.ini file so it won't be used when your computer is booting.
Then, extract the contents of the ISO to the root directory of your hard drive.
When you reboot, it should read your hard drive like the install cd.
When you install, I'd recommend using grub installed to your MBR, and add a line in there for your windows partition (if it doesn't already for you, havn't used fedora since Core 4.)
