http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have 500GB on Lenovo T510, right now I have allocated 400GB to Windows 7 and 100GB to Fedora, as I have too much files under fedora, I feel I need more HD space under fedora. How can I allocate another 50GB from NTFS to fedora disk. And I dont want to touch functionality of either system. Detailed instructions appreciated. (HowTos)

Fedora 15 - Low Space Warning 29 weeks 5 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.

Help appreciated for a Fedora newbie.

I bought a windows 8 box, so I could install Fedora 18. I did not want to risk my main PC.

I first installed Fedora on a Virtual machine under Win 8, no problem, but it runs slowly. Then I tried to install Fedora as a dual boot. It failed to start from the DVD.

I then discovered you have to disable the secure boot feature from the boot menu.

hey everyone i have a problem with a bricked fedora 15. ely get rid of fedora 15 since i i had to quit an update early and shut down my computer, completely bricking my system. i have a dual boot with windows 7 but fedora is my primary boot so i cant get to my windows 7. i want to completely get rid of fedora because i prefer everything i already had on windows 7.

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.

How to add more SWAP 28 weeks 1 day ago

Hello, I am quite new to fedora (in fact to LINUX in general) and I didn't know how much swap space should I allocate. I would like some more. I have unpartitioned space on my disk (I don't remember why). Can I use it as SWAP?

So I have windows 7 installed as my main OS, I wanted to mess around with fedora so I got the ISO installed it to cd everything went fine. In windows before install i partitioned 100gb of free space, when installing fedora I chose use free space, it did but now I cant seem to figure out how to get it to boot, it always just goes straight to windows. any tips?

Merge unallocated partitions 32 weeks 3 days ago

So my disk ended up being partitioned like this:

| System reserved (100MB) | Windows 7 (NTFS, 500GB) | Ubuntu (ext4, 100GB) | Swap (4GB) | Unallocated Space (400GB) |

Unfortunately, the unallocated space is not next to ext4 or NTFS partitions.

Now I want to allocate 200GB to the Windows 7 ntfs partition, the other 200GB to the Ubuntu partitions.

I had Fedora 15 on a computer, dual booted with Windows 7. I did a fresh install of Fedora 17, but in the process I seem to have wiped out its capability to boot Windows 7, which I'm pretty sure is still on the disk.

My plan is to install grub on the /boot partition of the new Fedora 17 and then fix the MBR to boot Windows and use Easy BCD under Windows to dual boot.
