While installing Fedora by creating dual boot, you may get a error saying could not allocate space for requested partitions:not enough space left to create partition even when you have free 'unallocated space'.
Make sure that you can still create primary partitions (max. 4 primary partitions allowed). Create extended partition and create root, /boot partitions as logical partitions within that. (max. one extended partition allowed). If you already have a extended partition, create free space within that.

- A swap partition (at least 256 MB) - Depending on RAM
- /boot partition (250MB) - contains the operating system kernel (which allows your system to boot Fedora), along with files used during the bootstrap process.
- root partition (3-5GB) - The
/(or root) partition is the top of the directory structure.
