I didn't see one, because of the stupid way Microsoft/the manufacturers manage disk layout. The Windows partition takes up the whole hard drive by default, so the installer correctly said that I had no free space. It's a common error by Windows users coming to GNU/Linux to think that the "free space" in their operating system is usable by other systems.

However, Canonical managed to pull this off. Even though Ubuntu is spyware, I have to give them credit for creating a program that installs Ubuntu alongside Windows, just like a normal Windows application. I actually tried it at one point, thinking I could install it and use the Fedora installer's option to "Replace existing Linux partitions" to install Fedora.
