Created attachment 2140023 [details] ESP marked to be formatted Description of problem: During the same installation as in bug 2467673 (where I installed Fedora into dual-boot with Win11), I noticed that the pre-installation summary page claims that ESP partition will be formatted (see screenshot). I don't want that! That would erase Windows boot files! I expected this to be a false alarm, so I proceeded with the installation. And yes, the ESP was NOT formatted, phew! The summary page shouldn't claim that a partition is going to be formatted, when it's just being mounted and used instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F44 Workstation Final anaconda 44.30-2.fc44 anaconda-webui 68-1.fc44 How reproducible: probably always Steps to Reproduce: 1. buy a new laptop with a default Win11 preinstalled 2. shrink the main Win11 partition (from Windows) 3. boot F44 Workstation and install it into dual-boot, using the default values 4. see the pre-installation summary page Additional info: All logs are in bug 2467673
