My system is an older Athlon FX-60 on a socket 939 nforce4 motherboard

I wanted to install F18 on the IDE drive (140Gb WD) and went through
the steps and selected a number of packages to install
It appeared to installed just fine but when I went to boot into F18 it
didn't exist! I booted into my F17 install and checked the disk
with palimpset and it didn't find any partitions. I selected the
automatic partitioning and made sure that there were no partitions on
the disk when I started.
Is the IDE drive your boot device?
My first guess would be that it's booting off one of the sata drives, whose bootloader
doesn't know about f18 on the IDE drive.
"No partitions" would be a hint of a GPT partitioning scheme.
For Fedora 16, the "nogpt" boot option to Anaconda existed
and it made the installer use MSDOS partitioning instead.
A lot of mainboards cannot boot off a GPT partition.
