Description David Pearson 2015-02-02 19:53:55 UTC
Description of problem:
I was attempting to install Fedora 21 on my laptop (HP dv-6135dx) which currently dual boots Fedora 20 and Windows 7. I have tried using the official release, the official KDE spin and now this KDE Plasma 5.2 spin (www.dvratil.cz/2015/01/plasma-5-2-arrives-to-fedora/) and all result in the same error after attempting to reclaim space for the installation.

I am following the same procedure I used to switch from Fedora 19 to Fedora 20 on this laptop, and can successfully install any of the spins of Fedora 20.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-core-21.48.21-1.fc21.x86_64

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
