anaconda throws a

"you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device"

as described in

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739389

So can I create this partition with parted on disk (p1) (or do I have to
shrink and move windows partition on (p3)).

I select /dev/sdc1 as /boot/efi

parted /dev/sdc print shows:

Model: ATA Corsair CSSD-F12 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdc: 120GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

parted /dev/sda print shows:

Disk /dev/sda: 3001GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B

The bios grub partition is not formated in any way.
Still the error shows up.

Best,
Moritz
