      I am having problems with the installing of Fedora
        18 Beta on my PC. I have it install from an
          earlier version namely Fedora 18 Beta TC9. I am trying to do a fresh install with the lastest release Fedora
            Beta RC1. When I get to the part to select
              the drive I want to install Fedora 18 on
                it simply will not allow me. I can't
                  understand this problem. Would you please advise me as
                  to what might be causing this problem.

        All things are workable but don't all things work. Prov. 3:5

    So you have a previous Fedora 18 version installed already? Now you
    must manually reclaim all disk space used by this installation and
    assign "mount points" to new partitions being very cautious because
    it's a mine field.

    
    I found zeroing MBR in my virtual machines much easier than playing
    with anaconda. But there might be some cases where you don't want to
    lose all your existing data. If you have dedicated disk just zero
    MBR and make anaconda think it's fresh empty disk.
