I had previously shrunk the NTFS partition to allow me
to install fedora. I had created a swap space before.
I used the option "keep all linux partions and create
default layout".

I booted into rescue mode and everything seems
correct. The image is there.

Replying to myself, but for the archives
I retried again. This time removing all the linux partitions and installation worked!!! Cannot complain running F7 T4 on Toshiba Laptop.
