Reproduce the problem, then grab the logs from /tmp while still in the
installation environment, and put them up somewhere. The likely useful
logs will be storage.log, program.log, and anaconda.log.

It is possible to have two Fedora 25's on the system at the same time,
with varying degrees of storage efficiency. The most efficient layouts
use either Btrfs or LVM thin provisioning, sharing one storage pool
for both installations (or even more than two).

The one gotcha will be the bootloader configuration, whether UEFI or
BIOS firmware, only one Fedora bootloader exists at one time. My
preference is to make use of the GRUB configfile command to point to
another grub.cfg. Exactly how to set this up depends on whether the
firmware is UEFI or BIOS.
