I came from Debian recently with Fedora 20. I was told to use the net
install ISO, I did. I have windows and another linux distro installed
and used manual partitioning without a problem. I have 2 drives and used
my existing /home on drive A and installed Fedora on drive B. works fine.
I can only say that I am in awe of your ability to do this using the installer.
After many attempts to get this working, I have taken to install with a dummy
user, then edit fstab to get the /home mount, then mounting, then adding the
user(s) with the UID they need to have and using the existing home directory for
each.
