Wipe NVMe and Reinstall Fedora | Generated by AI

Home 2026.06

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.

What does lsblk show after the wipe?
