Wipe NVMe and Reinstall Fedora | Generated by AI
Looking at your lsblk output from the photo, the NVMe is already visible:
nvme0n1 259:0 0 0B 0 disk ← shows 0B = corrupted partition table
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 600M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 2G 0 part
└─nvme0n1p3 259:4 0 231.2G 0 part /mnt/sysroot
Actually it’s showing partitions AND /mnt/sysroot is mounted — the partition table isn’t fully corrupted, the previous install partially wrote to it. The 0B on the disk itself is just a display artifact from the blurry photo.
Here’s what to do step by step:
Step 1 — Unmount sysroot first (important)
sudo umount /mnt/sysroot
Step 2 — Wipe everything
sudo wipefs --all /dev/nvme0n1
sudo wipefs --all /dev/nvme0n1p1
sudo wipefs --all /dev/nvme0n1p2
sudo wipefs --all /dev/nvme0n1p3
Step 3 — Fresh GPT label
sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1 mklabel gpt
Step 4 — Verify
lsblk
Should now show nvme0n1 with no children partitions.
Step 5 — Relaunch Fedora installer
sudo anaconda
Or click the installer icon on the desktop. It will see a clean disk and let you do automatic partitioning.
