Another user experienced a similar problem:

When I tried to install the fedora xfce spin using a live usb. After selecting the hard disk with automatic configuration it lead to the next screen whete it began to create partitions on the hard drive. During the process of creating the partitions this error occured and asked to quit the progaram.

Check your logs for errors similar to those in comment 11, if everything looks ok please attach the installation logs from /tmp/*log to a new bug.
