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.
