Hi Adam
Your experience with anaconda peaked my own curiosity and since I had /dev/sda with W8.1 and
F23 on /dev/sdc, I asked myself what would I experience if I choose those two disks, targeting /dev/sdc as an overwrite of the existing Fedora23.
With the selection pane, I got to see both a windows /dev/sda without seeing the 350meg system reserved partition) and the F23 partitions. Results as you explained.
Not wanting to actually do a reinstall, I choose to abort anaconda, but was unable to do it from within the selection pane. (could not quit or return back). I did a shutdown from the host live F23 image.
Here is the problem I encountered.
Here is the problem I encountered.
I was using a live ISO image to test, and therefore clicked on the shutdown icon for the live iso, which also kills anaconda.On reboot, /dev/sd6 (/boot) was corrupted. I could not boot into the original F23 as F23's /boot appeared active (mounted).
I thought the rule was that anaconda would not touch any disks until the confirmation to install "button" was clicked. Was it anaconda that caused the problem, or quitting via requesting shutdown the hosting live F23 system?
It took a rescue disk to run a check and correct against the /boot, after which the original /dev/sdc F23 beta-rc1 was bootable.
Questions
Should a bug against anaconda be raised to indicate that within the partition assignment, the back button must always be actived? Should a bug be raised to indicate the method in which /boot was corrupted?
If not me to do so, can you duplicate and confirm my findings.

Leslie

I'm curious - what makes it a big change?
