I'm sure you can probably squeeze it on there,  but in text mode install only.  
Your Windows is going to use about 512mb for install and then it is going to 
need another 512mb for a swap,  so that wipes out about 1 gig right there.  
As long as you don't plan on installing anymore software on windows or redhat 
you can probably squeeze redhat on that last gig.

If you have run scandisk and then defrag in windows and redhat still can't 
shrink the partition down,  you will have to manually fdisk the drive and 
reinstall both ops unless you have partition magic or something.

Have you checked to see how much space windows is using by right clicking on 
the drive c and then properties?
