I tried to install F25 Beta XFCE from an USB stick, on an Atom netbook already having F24 XFCE installed (standard install without disk encryption). In the partitioning phase, I left automatic partitioning checked. Anaconda correctly detected that only 1.8MB free disk space is available and it started the Reclaim Space tool when clicking on "Done". In that dialog, neither clicking "Delete all" nor deleting the two partitions individually didn't allow me to proceed: the "Reclaim space" button (bottom right) remained disabled. I had use cfdisk from a Terminal to erase all partitions, and was then able to install F25 without any issues. The existing F24 installation was a standard install, just 2 partitions created by Anaconda's F24 defaults: /boot and an unencrypted LVM containing the rest of the disk.
You'll need to upload anaconda logs if developers are supposed to find the problem. The logs are usually in /tmp on Live images. This might also be specific to i686 architecture, because we definitely tested this use case thoroughly on x86_64. Removing CommonBugs until we can show that this is a more wide-spread and not a single-host issue.
I just tested RC-1.3 x86_64 on another machine, and it worked as expected with existing partitions. It might indeed be an i686 issue. I can try again i686 on the first machine once F25 is officially released and collect the logs.
I just tried again with the latest nightly build of F26 Live Xfce. [1] The calculated disk space after marking the two partitions as "delete" is shown as 4.5GB, which is wrong (only a 16MB partition remains allocated, from a 160GB disk), but the "Reclaim space" button becomes enabled, so it would be possible to continue with the installation. I think this is bug #1165733 - not sure if it's just a cosmetic issue, or if it will calculate the partitions based on the displayed value, so I didn't continue. As far as I'm concerned, please feel free to close this bug.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
