http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello, I am new to Linux. I was trying to install Fedora 15 on my existing Windows 7 PC. I still have over 50GB unallocated disk space, but the installation keep saying I don't have enough free space. The only option that works is the first one "Use All Space". The rest couldn't find any free disk space. Any idea/help will be greatly appreciated. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Fedora 15 couldn't find free space

So i have 20 gbs of unallocated space on my hard disk. I get this error when i try to install fedora using the "Use existing space" Option.

Shouldn't it create a new partition automatically? I have 400 gigs on my C: drive, and 20 gigs of Unallocated space. Why doesn't this work.

My theory is that this isn't truly unformatted space like i need.

After upgrading my Samsung S2 to Jellybean, I have, in my notifications, a "Storage space" warning that some system functions may not work properly.

Also, when I try to install any app, I get the error: "Out of space. Free up some space and try again", which gives me a link to Manage Applications.

Hello! I have an issue with a hard drive. I know there is data on it, but it is showing up in Windows Disk Management as "Unallocated space" and in Disk Utility as "Free space" I have scanned it with Testdisk (output below). I'm pretty sure all of my data should still be on there, but I have no idea why it isn't showing up, and the drive isn't mountable in either OS.

I wanted to know the Red Hat Linux command for cumulative disk space usage and the free space as df –h gives used and free space individually for the drives. Or, a command to check free space on the server would also be fine.

I hope, my question is clear.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

I have moved to Ubuntu 12 and chosen to use full disk encryption (encrypted LVM).

So now I'm wondering: should I shred (eg: with secure-delete package, srm) the free disk space to remove any remnant windows might have left?

Is free disk space treated any different?

Hi,

I run Fedora 17.

I created a physical volume of 30GB on a disk with 60GB of space so there is 30GB of free space. On the physical volume, I created my volume group and logical volumes. I assigned all the space in the physical volume to my volume group.

Hello:

I'm trying to install 64 bit F17 on my laptop. I will eventually dual boot. I have Win 7 installed on a partition and have 220 GB of unallocated space outside of the NTFS partition.

During install, when I get to the part where it gives me options for the disk, I selected the use free space option and the custom config option. Neither one worked.

My USB stick space seems to be consumed by something. It's got a FAT32 partition and some mobile programs for windows 7 which amount to about 4 gigs. The total size of the stick is 64GB (Sandisk Cruzer).

Fedora 15 - Low Space Warning 30 weeks 2 days ago

Hi,

I have Fedora 15 installed on my laptop and I had given the installation 100gb on storage to dual boot with windows 7.

I have been getting the warnings about low disk space and it is stopping me from installing applications using yum. I looked at the disk space analyzer and I don't really understand what is going on.
