I want to install Fedora 15 on my new computer. It has 1 new 3TB hard drive. I know I need a GPT to use all the space. Does Fedora15 installer support setting up this drive to boot from GPT?
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.

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.

i noticed that my 2 internal harddrives are mounted within the system (i can see them with DF) but they do not show up with Dolphin (running KDE Suse 11.3).Now i added them manually. Might be that a bug or did i something wrong at installation?

I think I have a corrupted file system on my 1TB harddrive as both Windows Vista and Ubuntu are not seeing it. How do I recover the drive. I have never experienced this sort of thing before.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and recently installed Linux Mint on an other partition. I am now finding that when I boot up I get a message that Grub is unable to find a hard-dirve that does not exist.
how to tell Grub (or is it something/where else) not to look for a non-existent hard drive?

I have two harddrives installed on my HTPC. I am using the smaller (120gb) to run the OS (kubuntu 10) the larger (1 tb) I want to use to store all of my media.
However....
The second hard drive has THREE linux Distros on it (from me testing and playing and making decisions) and I CANT figure out how to get them off.....
The hard drives are SATA and plugged in in the correct order.
I have tried fdisking and reformating which seemed to work, but when I boot it still asks me which OS i want to boot to.
Right now I am trying to zero out the hard drive by using ths
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
I typed that in as root about 15 minutes ago and hit enter. it hasn't said anything since. no command prompt or anythng. I am hoping it is working, we will see.

I have a working Centos 5.4 (== Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4) kickstart installation working with pxe boot.I am now trying to do the same kickstart installation but from a SCSI harddrive on the hardware box itself.In other words, the system already has an older distribution on it, and it has a formatted LVM partition with free space. I expect to upload an initrd, vmlinux, ks.cfg at the top of this partition, edit the grub.conf with something like so:
grub.conf

I have an USB drive and I made a share with samba and accessed it from windows computer. I've been using openSUSE 11.3 with no problems.
Recently, I've installed openSUSE 11.4. Now I can't write to my USB Disk through samba.
It is formatted as ntfs.
samba log tells a lot of things.... for eg.:
Code:
[2011/05/30 11:46:54.148085, 2] smbd/trans2.c:5531(smb_set_file_dosmode)
smb_set_file_dosmode: file_set_dosmode of 1 failed (Permission denied)
[2011/05/30 11:46:54.148163, 3] smbd/error.c:80(error_packet_set)
[Code]....

I thought I installed properly, but once again I've made a mistake. I'm trying to make use of the 114 gb I didn't assign as file system space, but I can't seem to access it or write to it. I've officially run out of space in my file system and I've got a lot to do still. Any thoughts on how to make the unused partition accessable?

I tossed a 500GB hard drive into my machine (Ubuntu 64 8.10) so that I could back some files up. This drive when last used was part of a software RAID (no longer in use.) I deleted the partition that was on it, and tried to reformat using Gparted to ext3...but it won't work. The only error message I get is that it failed. Details do not provide any additional information. I went to the command line and attempted to mount it just to see what would happen, and I got this:
Code:
~$ sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/backup1
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
Apparently, it still thinks it's part of the RAID. What can I do to erase and reformat this drive?

During the installation of Ubuntu from a LiveCD my harddrive doesn't seem to be detected. I cannot create partitions. I used Gparted to shrink my Windows partition. There's 23 GiB of unallocated space, but it's not being detected.

I have a Seagate Expansion external drive.
It won't load as it is NTFS. Am I okay to reformat it using GParted? I'm unable to get the drive up in a window, but GParted can see it.

i would like to link a folder, in my case that is 'Pictures' to a different harddrive with a folder containing pictures.So whenever i save pictures it would save by default onto the harddrive with the linked folder.How can i do that. I tried to do it with ls i think but this makes softlinks which did not let me open automatically open the other folder. omg i hope i don't make it to complicated to understand.So here a visual plan of it.the default folder/home/user/pictureslike to link it to /media/pictures/photoshotsso this is the harddrive (another internal harddrive) which contains a different folder where i store my photos in general.

i have 4 different harddriveparts (i hope that is the correct translation), on my PC, one for the OS (ubuntu) and 3 others for programms and documents for example. But now i need to go in a folder on another part in the console.
The other part has the id E61441A014417519, so i would guess that the order you have to enter would be: "cd mediaE61441A014417519folder" and then i would be "in" the folder, but the console said that there is not even a folder named "E61441A014417519".

I have two hard drives one running Ubuntu 10.04 and the other XP (only for itunes and gaming) but earlier today i needed to reinstall xp as its windows and got bored of working properly and i am now unable to access the ubuntu harddrive as grub was written to the windows mbr.Now i would of normally just reinstalled Ubuntu and gone from there but as i was trying to be clever i copied my itunes folder over and i dont really wont to lose this.So two questions;1) How can i add the Ubuntu harddrive back to the boot options ?2) Or how can i get the itunes folder off the Ubuntu install using a live disk or from xp?

I ran Windows on this computer but it decided it wanted to die on me yesterday, so right now I'm using a Ubuntu Live CD. I wanted to save my files before I install Ubuntu on this harddrive, but when I click on 'Computer', I can't see my harddrive. However, if I go to Disk Utility I am able to see the drive: Unknown (500GB) and Unknown (490GB). I cannot access any of the partitions, so I tried to mount them. When I do that, I get the message code...
The same goes with /sda1/ which kind of sucks. I also tried with /sda/ but it didn't work either. I should probably also mention that when I try to run the Ubuntu installer it shows my harddrive, but no partitions.
