Will there be any issues if I try to load windows 7 on another partition after I install fedora?
Yes my motherboard has UEFI.
I'm making life difficult for myself. Summary, I have a laptop with F10 installed on a portable harddrive (sdb 1-3, i.e., no logical volume) Works great, no complaints so I guess this reduces to a grub question; how do I edit grub.conf to boot an iso on sdb4? Fedora10.iso for example.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install debian on a encrypted partition with LUKS and LVM. I've found a good tutorial for ubuntu (here but it's in french). The idea is to create a sda1 partition for /boot and create a sda2 partition which is encrypted with luks ("cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 luksFormat /dev/sda2") and on this encrypted partition, I use LVM to divide it in several different partitions (root, swap, home,...).
I can do it all with the debian live cd but once it's done I need to install debian. The problem is that with the basic install cd (I use netinstall), I cannot decrypt the partition for the installation (or if I can how ?)And with the live cd, I didn't find any option to do that.
Can I decrypt an encrypted drive without loss of data?

I tried mounting an ISO of Ubuntu, but did not find usb-creator. I tried some "sudo apt-get install usb-creator" command (cannot remember exact syntax, but the install succeeded) but I cannot find the installed application. If this is indeed the utility that I need, where do I find it?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a single boot ubuntu installation (that I like very much) that I want to migrate to a larger hard drive that has an XP installation on it so that I can dual boot on one hard drive. I've already partitioned it.
So:
Hard drive A: has Ubuntu on it
Hard drive B: has two partitions, one XP the other one waiting for Ubuntu.
I'd rather not just install Ubuntu all over again as it was annoying to install the wireless dongle. among all the other secondary installations and tweaks that have been done.
First of all I have to say I love Fedora, just switched from openSuSE after the system was kinda sluggish the last 2 or 3 versions. But one thing I always liked was the fact that when the system went into suspend my external harddrive spun down and after resuming it spun up again as soon as I tried to access a file. Now in Fedora the harddrive continues spinning and is unavailable after resuming. There is nothing about the harddrive in dmesg, not during suspending and not even when i unplug it after resuming.
