I'm trying to install CentOS 7 on HP Envy x360 laptop.
However, as soon as the 'Done' is clicked in the 'Partition Definition' stage, the installation is aborted with the following messages.
How to recreate:
- Complete the Windows 10 installation
- Create an installation USB containing RHEL 7.8 DVD ISO image
- Boot the HP Envy x360 laptop and press F10 to get to the boot menu
- Set the USB to be the first boot device
- Insert the RHEL 7.8 Installation USB into a USB port on the HP laptop
- Power off/on the laptop
- Choose English as language and click on 'Done'
- Choose 'Define Partitions' and click 'Done'
at this stage the installation bombs.
Note: The exact same behaviour occurs when trying to install RHEL 7.6/7.8 and CentOS 7.6

Solution:
Seems the CentOS got confused with the NTFS partition on which Windows 10 is installed.
When I told the CentOS installation to clobber the unknown (i.e. NTFS) partition, the installation went ahead without a hitch.
