Any ideas how to proceed from here?
For this install I'm happy to for the current disk contents to be
completely blown away and for Fedora to partition the whole disk as
it sees fit.
I also had trouble reusing an old hard drive for installation, it
(anaconda's installation routine) wouldn't remove an old partition, no
matter what I tried. It hid it from view, but it was still there, and
the installer would only try to use around half the drive capacity.
I booted the live image, used its gparted tool to obliterate my entire
hard drive, then ran the install to hard drive routine, successfully.
