http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have a few questions about disk partitioning, and also on how to properly partion my harddrive for installng windows 7 and fedora dual boot. First I would like to know what format I would use to format a 305GB harddrive for storage . I currently have my fedora 17 KDE installed onto my 1TB harddrive, and also have another 305GB harddrive hooked into my computer with nothing on it.I would like to make it so i can view all files on this 305GB harddrive from either operating system, and to be unaffected my future reformats and OS installs. I noticed on my fail attempt to add a partion theres (HowTos)

Hello guys,

I used to use Ubuntu during 3 years. For my new computer, I just chose Fedora. I got a Asus n53sm-sx117v with 750gb.

However I encountered some trouble: Fedora 17 detects my harddrive as being a 120gb SSD harddrive (and it's wrong). Therefore, I'm losing almost 600gb...

Hi guys, been a while since I've dual booted and I'm finally ready to reinstall fedora on my laptop. I have two harddrives, an SSD and a normal data drive. I want to dual boot windows and fedora, and want the operating systems on the ssd, while most data files are on the harddrive. How should I setup my partitions? Would I want /home on the harddrive?

Ubuntu 9.04 does not boot in normal mode when the slave harddrive is connected.

The desired configuration is: - one 13 GB master harddrive with dual boot from Win98 and Ubuntu 9.04 - one 40 GB slave harddrive as storage The Win98 boot option is nonessential; I'm just trying to smooth the transition.

Install F11 on a USB-Drive 3 years 44 weeks ago

Hi,

I tried to install F11 on a USB-Harddrive.

I had some trouble (e.g. the installer crashes when you say "Use free on device" on drive without free space.)

Finally, the installation was successful. I configured the installer to use the entire drive and to install the boot loader on the USB-Harddrive.

hello all is me again with the same harddrive but different issue

after playing around a bit i managed to be able to see it in the computer folder as what i called it "HotSpot" or to get its actual name its "sdb"

[SOLVED] Grub help 1 year 21 weeks ago

I am borrowing a laptop right now, long story short..I re-installed crunch bang on my PC this time around I let it install grub on my main harddrive in the MBR where windows xp is located.I tried deleting the grub.cfg in the 2nd harddrive on the crunchbang install. Now my grub wont even do nothing anymore. I deleted my 2nd harddrive and still have the same exact problems.

I have an USB harddrive with NTFS (for compatibility with windows and support of large files, so FAT is not an option). I would like to use that harddrive as LiveUSB. Ubuntu help says that it is possible, but Startup Disk Creator refuses:

I have set the flags on the NTFS partition to boot. Is there a mistake in the documentation, or am I missing something?

While doing a fresh ubuntu install (dual boot with XP using resize), I somehow managed to install grub to the source usb instead of to the harddrive. Normal harddrive boot goes straight to XP. Booting from USB leads me to grub. From there i can boot into ubuntu. Pretty cool actually, but not what I had in mind.

How do I install Grub to HD?

How do I recover my USB?

I'm still new with FreeNas and RAID system. I successfully make a file server with FreeNAS with 2 TB of Harddrive formated with ZFS. Now i want to make it RAID 1, by adding another 1, 2TB Harddrive. What i want to ask, if this possible? adding another Harddrive in installed and configured FreeNas?

Thanks Ivan
