Bugs at the launching of the fedora 23 workstation installer
The problem is now solved. As it was said i the topic mentioned bellow, there was something wrong with the partition table, even if I don't really know what it was. After having recovered my personal files, I created a GPT partition table (my BIOS boots by default in UEFI mode), I installed a fresh Windows 10 so it created the UEFI partition needed. Then I installed Fedora without any problem. You can see bellow the explanation of the problem I had.
Hi, I'm having problems while launching the installation of Fedora 23 Workstation (x64). I downloaded the lastest live ISO available (Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-23-10.iso) and checked the SHA-256. Then, I wrote it to a bootable USB stick on which I booted. If I launch a live session, everything is working well, but if I launch the installer - by selecting "Install Fedora" at the boot or by launching the installer from the live session - 3 issue pop-up are displayed. I can report the bug or shutdown (the "quit" button of the pop-up doesn't works). So I'm not able to install fedora on my computer (I have tried with several USB sticks and re-downloaded the ISO but the result is the same).
I wrote the USB stick (from Windows 10) with Rufus and UnetBootin. I tried tried to install Fedora 22 too but the same issue appears. I also ran a memory test and everyhing is okay with the RAM.
When I launch the installer from the command line, this is what the program outputs :
[liveuser@Thomas_KUNTZ_PC ~]$ sudo anaconda
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 22.20.13-1 for anaconda bluesky (pre-release) started.
* installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
* shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
* if the graphical installation interface fails to start, try again with the
inst.text bootoption to start text installation
* when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments

First run a memory test. To see if you have some memory issues. Then run anaconda (aka Fedora Installer) in a terminal from your live USB to see if it show any logs that you can share with us to help us to figured out your issue.
If you can report the bug numbers that might help, it's unusual for the installer to crash. How was the USB stick written?
You say 3 issue pop-up are displayed. That sounds like the crash reporting tool that files bugs. Did you click through them?
