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.
