Hi, I've been wanting to do this for a while (quite new to fedora and all)...
Basically because I share a PC with a family not so linux or even just computer literate I don't want to expose them to a dual-boot of Windows/Fedora..
So what I want to do is create a new partition on the PC, install fedora but leave the windows boot-loader untouched (not even showing Fedora) and then use either a
Hello!
I have Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation and Fedora 17, both OS are 64 bit, on dual boot.
Windows and Fedora work OK, with one problem - i can not shotdown computer from Windows.
When i hit Shutdown, computer begin shutdown, but there is no shutdown, only return me on windows login screen.
Restart is OK, shutdown from Fedora also OK.
This problem only appears on dual boot Win8 - Fedo
At present I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Fedora 14. I want to re-install windows 7 but most probably it will replace Fedora's boot loader. I have a lot of things set up on Fedora. I want to keep these things intact.
I need a dual boot in my computer, Windows 7 and Fedora 17.
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.
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 t
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?
Greeings,
I've ran into an issue during the DVD upgrade of Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 on a dual boot, two drive, system.
Win7 is on sda and Fedora 16 is on sdb. Both drives boot from the MBR via the BIOS boot menu (F12). This keeps the Windows drive untouched.
When upgrading from the F17 DVD, I don't get the option to select to install the bootloader to the MBR on sdb.
i have a bricked fedora 15(cannot run it, im stuck on a grub screen) and windows 7 as a dual boot. fedora is my primary boot but i cannot access windows 7 since fedora is bricked. my plan is to remove fedora 15 and run my windows 7 but i dont know how to do so.
