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.
Hi,
This seems like it should be pretty simple but I am having problems determining Windows partition .vs Linux partition.
I have 350Gb of unallocated space on my hard drive & would like to install Ubuntu there. From what I have read Ubuntu prefers to be in charge of the partitioning for GRUB.
It looks like /dev/sda1 & sda2 are to be partitioned ntfs.
Hi there,
I am attempting, for possibly the hundredth time, to install a variant of linux (Ubuntu) onto my computer (Compaq Presario C57) and I'm having a lot of difficulty.
First thing I did was shrink my windows partition to free up some space, which now appears as 'Unallocated Space' with a black stripe across it in Disk Management.
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.
System has two hard disks: 160GB SSD, which is the boot disk and 500GB RAID1 HDD.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed as the main OS on the SSD.
First, the phrase "unallocated filesystem" is an oxymoron -- unallocated space is just that: unallocated (unused). You can't put a filesystem in unallocated space.
Im trying to dual boot win 7 and ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop(asus u47), ive tried creating unallocated space in win 7 and creating a partition in ubuntu but it wants to unmount a previous partition (im assuming its talking about the c: drive in win 7), not sure if i should unmount it or not but i do not have a recovery disk for win 7 (and i do need win 7) so i do not want to risk losing it.
Hello everyone,
I am having big troubles trying to install windows 7 and suse 11.1 on the same PC
I never had problem when using XP, what I usually did was:
1) Install XP first, leaving during the disk partitioning an unallocated space for the linux installation
I have windows sda2 and then, next to it, extended partition with ubuntu sda6. Can I reallocate some ubuntu's free space to sda2? I know I can boot from livecd gparted and cut some GB from sda6, but then unallocated space will be after sda6 and not before, am I right? Is it possible to add unallocated space to sda2 or merge is not possible due to partitions position?
