There are two bugs here. For one, blkid is telling udev (and anaconda) that the disk contains an ext3 filesystem. If that is not the case, there's a blkid bug (blkid comes from util-linux package). Secondly, it is possible for blkid to detect both a disklabel and another format on a disk. In anaconda-16.8-1 I added code to improve anaconda's handling of such cases. This will be in Fedora 16. If you need to use that disk to get your system installed, let me know. I can try to provide you with an updates image that should solve the problem.
Hi David, I've tried my second drive and it installed fine. Thank you.
