Thanks Jim for the idea.

Did that and still no option to install/upgrade, or detection of
fc6 before the partition screen.

Could it be that for some reason the installer does not encounter a
fedora-release package so it refuses to upgrade the system. This
happened to me once and no upgrade option was provided.


So check your installation for upgrade and verify that
fedora-release is installed. If it is installed and verifies, it
must be something to do with not recognizing your hard disk, so
back to the hunt.

Parted shows the culprit at the bottom:

/dev/hdd (123GB)
