I blew away the big windows partition, but I left the Dell system and recovery partitions. Which equates to about 15 gig of space. I imagine if I blew away those partitions too, then Fedora 18 would install. But I do like keeping the Dell stuff around, for emergencies. So with 100+ gig of free space and 2 system partitions, Fedora did not install. > Have you tried booting the installer again? It may be the best way to ensure > the partition table is re-read. Yep.

This is on the "main" installer screen in F18. fdisk -l shows two partitions (Dell system and recovery).
