Hi Antonio I UEFI-installed f23 on an HP Elite Book Folio 1040 and no problem whatsoever using the following kickstart-file:

Can you get to a shell and post the output from 'parted /dev/sdX u s p' for the drive that you want to install to? Chances are that's sda, but could be something else.
Also a screen shot or cell phone photo of where you're at in the installer when you see this message could be helpful. And another would be to post /tmp/program.log and /tmp/storage.log somewhere. Those are created by the installer and are tossed at reboot if the installation didn't succeed, so you'd need to reproduce the problem to get those logs again.

If you're using fdisk you're using a BIOS partition table. Depending on UEFI settings, you need a GPT partition table.
The Fedora installer detects UEFI, and then decides to use a GPT partition table, and look for space.
I've had that on a work laptop (also an HP). You can try to disable secure boot in the UEFI screen, or you can try and tell the USB stick to treat the laptop like a BIOS machine.
The problem is that changing those settings now will break the existing Windows install.
I can't remember the exact setting, but Fedora USB sticks have a valid Secure Boot partition, so the laptop boots from that valid partition, and enables Secure Boot. From that point on, you need a GPT disk.

Modern Linux fdisk can also create/manage GPT disks.

Hi On a recent laptop, Asus X751L, I disabled secure boot. It didn't break windows8 install (to keep warranty) at all.
Allegedly, on or about 28 December 2015, maderios sent:

Not very "secure" then...

Three laptops installed Fedora dual boot with UEFI and F21 and F23 without Windows.
All KDE from USB stick. As the partition table has no Windows OS on it, why not just wipe the whole thing and start from scratch. Let the installer partition the drive as needed or manually partition.
Linux works great with GPT (had issues with a SSD though) on spinning disks. Used it on all newly formatted disks on all my machines. Use gdisk instead of fdisk.
Installed F23 KDE on a machine yesterday (twice) with no issues. Wiped all partitions and created all new partitions manually (hate LVM). Installed the second time due to no encryption the first time.
It was very fast as we didn't start till after supper.
Just make sure to create the EFI partition if you partition manually.
funny as I wrote the original post about installation of Fedora on a HP with no O.S. and now it has moved to the fact that Windows installation was not broken....

1. This is an MBR partitioned system. 2. It has a 3rd partition, the type code is 83 (linux), so something created that. There is no free space. 3. Why do you think this is a UEFI system? If you boot the install media, what results do you get for 'efibootmgr' ? 4. This is an unusual installation of Windows because the first two partitions are identically sized, and are reported as FAT32 with type codes 0B and 0C, rather than type code 07 NTFS. Also 7.8G is much larger than a typical Windows system volume, and is also much smaller than a typical Windows boot volume.
So this makes me wonder if sda3, 450G is actually Windows, and somehow accidentally its type code got changed. You can use 'blkid' to find out what the actual file system is on that partition. If it's NTFS, then the type code is wrong and it needs to be changed to 07.
But the main issue here is whether the system really is UEFI. And if Windows came pre-loaded or not. If it's UEFI, then the CSM-BIOS has been enabled (presents a faux legacy BIOS to the OS) because the Windows installer only uses MBR on systems with BIOS. It only uses GPT on systems with UEFI. Therfore the fact this system has an MBR partitioned disk means the firmware is presenting BIOS to the installer environment.
