Installed Fedora 21 live image to disk. Now we want to reinstall to the

partitions with fdisk hoping that would make it work. Next cat'd file to
raw device to wipe or corrupt the MBR. Still no joy. How in H do you get
the live image installer to find the disk you want to install to? Bye
the way this is not a new issue as we have run into this problem in the
past but never found a solution to it. We always had to go to another
install method which is very painful and time consuming.
Figured it out. There was a command wipefs we did not know about which
got us part way there, but not quite all the way. After doing a wipefs
-af, forced all the device would show up in the selection and we could
configure partitioning but then the install would crash. The device is
raid 1 SSD and the raid was corrupted by the wipe so we had to use the
bios raid utility to delete and recreate the raid.
