      @bigbear Ill have to check. Any way you can get a root prompt will suffice.

      Im in the live CD and pressing ALT key plus RIGHT ARROW key?

        @bigbear Yes or Alt + f2, f3, all the way to f8 I think should also switch to different console. One of them should be a # prompt

          You also might want to check SATA mode for your SATA ports in bios/uefi.

            This post sounds familiar except I wasn’t trying to dual boot anything.

            I just uswd the same live usb stick to wipe a windows 10 laptop with now issue so far after several reboot.

            Waiting for net install cd to complete to see if I still have the same issue, then will try commands above from sudo -i since root no longer has a password?

              You know I think Sata is set to IDE mode because I remember seeing that in the bios when changing boot order...

                Data ports have ahci/ide/raid options. ide and achi have no impact, will have to pick up in the morning on this

                  From the live CD, this is what it wants to create when I do a custom setup and delete all partitions.

                  I hate this default layout.

                  I would delete the /home partition and then set / to 500Gb and then click update. it will resize it down to max.

                  This is a server. There is no reason to have a separate /home like this.

                    That is a Fedora workstation live installer.

                      It was for a spare workstation at a customer location in a spare office, I am going to be in and out helping a lot and dont want to leave my laptop there.

                      But I agree and hate the layout, and I am started to think its just a POS ThinkCenter that isnt going to work.

                      I actually tried to installed Fedora on a spare Intel Server they had with a SR1200BTS but the mouse and keyboard literally will move only every 10 seconds. I flashed the BIOS to 2018 March release but it didnt help so I grabbed the ThinkCenter.

                        So I made a full USB installer for Suse Tumbleweed this morning and loaded it up, I am afraid to reboot.

                        I am hoping its something Fedora is missing the Suse got right...
