After shifting the partitions on my HDD up by about 200 MiB and then using gdisk to convert the disk to GPT (did it this way to try and preserve the existing Windows partitions), the Fedora installer now only recognises my HDD as a multipath device. I actually have two SATA HDDs, both are the same as what I posted previously. One of them turned out to be GPT the other MBR (so maybe Windows just decided to convert the wrong drive to GPT originally?). Before I did the conversion described above, both HDDs were recognised as local disks by the installer, now both are recognised as multipath devices. I tried the install on the multipath device anyway and it seemed to work, But upon booting into the installation it failed critically and dumped me into the emergency console. It looked as though it failed to find any HDDs at all when trying to boot. I will see if I can generate some screenshots or something and post them soon. I also looked at the F21 Common Bugs page on the wiki. There is a section there talking about multipath device issue. I created edited the /etc/multipath.conf file to have the contents specified but the installer still treats all devices as multipaths. Any suggestions here? Should I just try wiping the HDD and starting again (ensuring that Windows properly formats the correct HDD this time?)
