Hi guys, i have at the moment a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 each one in separate hard drives, when i installed Ubuntu it taked care of the dual boot system letting me choose wich OS to run when turned on.
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.
Dear Friends,
I am running Fedora 16 32+ bit distro on my pc. I just downloaded the package called liveusb-creator using yum command as root and was trying to see if I could use my 4 GB USB stick (pen drive) to install Fedora on other pcs of mine just as I normally do with DVD/CD. For this purpose I needed to download iso image of Fedora.
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.
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.
Dear Friends,
My notebook and desktop run perfectly on dual systems: Win7 and fedora 17. As I follow the installation procedure suggested by the redhat / earlier fedora system, both my machines have the separated and cleared partitions; for windows, boot, swap and boot partition.
I have a Fedora 14 system which I really need to upgrade. I've been waiting while I learn how to use gnome 3 on another system I have on which I've installed Fedora 15. But I can't wait any longer.
In the past I've always installed a new version of Fedora from scratch, but I am considering using preupgrade this time to go to Fedora 16 or Fedora 17.
I just switched from Fedora 16 to 18 (not an upgrade but a clean install). Previously in Fedora 16, I had no problems doing a Fedora 16 and Windows 7 dual boot in EFI mode. Grub Legacy (EFI version) worked perfectly. Now with Grub2 (EFI) there seems to be no working chainloader command.
I can still boot Windows if I go into the BIOS boot menu and select it.
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
