Are you trying to overwrite the f43 install?  Or add the f44 install
to the same disk but using separate, new partitions?

If overwriting, you should tell the installer to delete the existing
partitions and let it create new.

If adding, and if you are trying to use the same /boot/efi partition
for both f43 and f44, I don't think it will be happy, as I *think* you
can only have *one* "Fedora" install in /boot/efi (well, maybe by
going to great manual lengths it might be possible, but *I* wouldn't
go there).  If you UEFI handles it properly you might be able to  have
a /boot/efi partition for f43 and another for f44.  But it would not
surprise me if your UEFI has issues with multiple /boot/efi partitions
on the same disk.

You could probably configure GRUB to boot off of different sets of
partitions, but it would probably something you would have to
configure by-hand.

If you want/need to dual-boot F43 and F44, far easier (and
supportable) to put them on separate disks.  If you can't do that,
next best option would be to make one of them a Virtual Machine.
