You can't repartition the drive you booted from, since it's in use, running the live environment. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1172342 *** |
Description of problem: I am trying to install Fedora on an external HDD from a liveUSB of Fedora. After choosing "Installation Destination", I selected my external HDD for installing Fedora 23. Next it tells me I need to reclaim space. I made a partition (NTFS) of about 100GiB for installing Fedora. When trying to reclaim space from a partition on my external HDD I continually receive the following error. This happens before I can even begin the installation process. The fedora iso is verified.
