- Scanning your disk for existing installations should not result in a failure
- Selecting OK will present you with a shell where you are able to see the previous installation mounted under
/mnt/sysimage - Anaconda should be able to mount (read-write and read-only) LVM, encrypted, and RAID (BIOS, hardware, and software) installations
- Additionally, you may be able to execute
chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/bashwithout error
