Fedora Networking :: Dual Boot Comp Running Windows 7 And F13?

May 2, 2010

I have recently set up a dual boot comp running Windows 7 and Fedora 13 (test) and began noticing that after a short while,was taking forever to access web pages. When I look at my router which is running DD-WRT I noticed my active connections was over 500 whereas should only be around 200 maybe or less. This does not occur under windows,so am not sure where to begin.box is running 64 bit quad core processor.

Fedora :: OS Crash On Dual-boot Vista Comp?

Feb 27, 2011

This morning I started my PBell desktop (dual booting Fedora/Vista) and Fedora opened fine. I started making entries in a text file with gEdit & when I saved it took a long while to complete the save (I had only entered a few lines of text).I then created a new folder in my home folder & tried to move other folders in to the new one but suddenly all the folders disappeared and the computer hung/froze. I tried a restart but again this did not complete fully (the cursor turned into a 'brick' & the progress bar hung).

I had to switch off & when I restarted I got Disk Read error. I tried switching off/on again and got Grub cursor. I switched off & on again & this time was told to put system disc in (I do not have a disc as I installed Fedora with USB install).So I switched off and left the computer for 15 minutes & when I switched on again it started Fedora normally.I experienced similar crashes with Ubuntu10.04 dual booting with Vista & this was the reason I decided to leave Ubuntu & install Fedora. When I used Ubuntu I did a DejaDup backup & I tried to use this with the DejaDup in Fedora to restore my data to Fedora but it didn't work.It appears there is some issue with my computer running Linux (dual boot Vista)-either Fedora or Ubuntu. How do I find out what the problem with my computer is and how do I proceed now?

Fedora :: Running A Dual Boot Windows 7 Home Premium And 12 System On An AMD Phenom Platform

May 31, 2010

I am/was(?) running a dual boot Windows 7 Home Premium and Fedora 12 system on an AMD Phenom platform.

I thought that I would try the KDE desktop and installed it with the command

yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

After tasting KDE for a while I decided that I far prefer Gnome.

I removed the KDE with

yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

This appeared to work but I then found that whilst I can boot into Windows 7, I can no longer boot into Fedora 12.

I have tried booting the F12 DVD and going into to the Rescue function. I re-installed grub but still cannot boot into F12.

I have looked at grub.conf but can see nothing wrong.

General :: Dual Boot Setup - Running Windows As Virtual Box

Jun 21, 2010

I currently run a Windows 7 Compaq laptop with an Athlon x2 and 4gig of DDR2. I want to either set up a dual-boot on my laptop, or make Linux the Primary with Windows running in something like a virtual box. I am very much into Android and I want to learn Linux as a result of that. So which Distro should be considered in a situation like this.

General :: Newbie Looking To Dual-boot Gloria X64 Into A Box Already Running Windows 7 X64

Dec 17, 2009

I recently installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Quad-Core 3GB RAM machine. I am now looking to dual-boot it with Linux Mint 7 64-bit. While I am an IT Service Management major, I really only know enough to be dangerous, and I don't want to ruin the first computer that I have ever bought outright. (Nor do I want to have to reload Windows 7 again.) I also want to be able to run Microsoft Office (I despise OpenOffice, so this is not an option), other programs native to Windows, and iTunes. Anyone know how to do this correctly?

Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot With Xp - Grub Can't Boot Into Windows?

Jan 10, 2010

I just set up a dual boot on a system with fedora 12 and XP. XP in on one hard drive (sda) and Fedora on a second hard drive (sdb).

I installed grub on the Fedora disk so as to not touch the windows disk at all.

Prior to installation, in the bios, I set the Fedora disk (sdb) first in the boot sequence, and then XP (sda) so that the grub loader would boot up by default. (If I set the windows drive first then the system bypasses grub and loads straight into windows.)

My system can now boot up into Fedora fine, but if I select windows from the grub loader menu I just get a blinking cursor - windows will not boot.What do I have to do so that grub can boot into XP?

Ubuntu :: Comp Fans Stay On Low And Comp Too Hot

May 25, 2010

I have noticed a really bad problem on here that i never had on windows 7 even with overclocking.

It seems the fans stay on and are basically idling or are at minimum speed and the computer and graphics cores are just idling at 99c which is really dangerous, but not critical yet since this is an alienware laptop and the technician did say its temperature rating is above that.

The problem is I need to get the multiple fans in the case to start up and cranking like they do to keep the system really cool in windows 7. I kinda wanna get this fixed ASAP as i dont want to constantly be running at this temperature.

Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot Windows 7 With F13?

Jun 27, 2010

A while ago I used a friends computer with F11 installed on it. I definitely want to install F13 on my computer now. Please, can someone either tell me complete information from the beggining to the end, or simply direct me to a guide somewhere else on the internet. I have a F13 live cd and want Windows 7 to be in control of the boot (by I suppose LiveBCD).

Fedora Installation :: How To Dual Boot With Windows

Aug 13, 2011

In fact, I put it on my PC of RedHat when it was free, and it didn't work.Are there any such tutorials to dual boot Windows 7 with Fedora 15 (latest version), or would someone be kind enough to walk me through the process? I have tons of music on Windows that I don't want to get lost.What are the chances that my Windows hardware will recognize in Fedora? I was bypassing to get to this forum, and I saw Nvidia drivers are difficult to get configured. Those are the drivers my PC runs on. I'm not sure of my hardware. How difficult would it to setup, and configure hardware?

Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot With Windows Vista?

Aug 27, 2009

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I don't want to switch entirely to Fedora because I'm not as familiar with it as I am Windows. I mainly wanted to install Fedora for my Linux class at the Community College I attend. How do I install it with a dual boot so it doesn't take over Windows Vista? I had that happen once and it was a mess to fix and reinstall Windows Vista too.

Fedora Installation :: Dual Boot 8 And Windows 2003?

Sep 10, 2009

I am attending college and I am starting my first Linux class tomorrow. I am going to be learning Fedora 8 (why they don't upgrade, is beyond me) anyways, I also have a third Server 2003 class. We have our own hard drives that we put in the school computers. (80gb) But here is the problem, I know normally your suppose to install Windows first and then Fedora second and you do not have a dual boot problem.

However my Server 2003 class was suppose to be on Monday (which was labor day) so I didn't have school. I am going to be installing Fedora tomorrow first thing, then on this next Monday I will be installing Server 2003 on the same hard drive, but Windows will be going on second. So my question is, how would I fix the bootloader so I can still dual boot Fedora and Windows without having to reinstall Fedora again?

Fedora Installation :: Using The Windows 7 Bootloader To Dual Boot

Jan 19, 2011

I am getting a new computer with Windows 7 installed. It will contain a second hard disk on which I will install Fedora Linux. I plan to put grub in the /boot partition of that disk,so I won't be able to boot Linux directly to start. I plan to use the Windows 7 bootloader to dual boot, and I understand in principle how this is done. I set up a previous computer which was running Vista this way, using the program Easy BCD which simplified setting up the Vista bootloader. But the Easy BCD website doesn't address the question of what to do with Windows 7.

Fedora :: Dual Boot - Editing Menu.lst For Windows?

Jun 24, 2011

I've had Fedora 14 installed for some time now, but decided I needed dual boot for some things I have that are built only for windows and need usb support.

I installed windows to hd0,4 but when I edit a windows 7 entry in grub, as:

title windoze 7
root (hd0,4)

then boot it, it doesn't find it.

It was actually the 4th partition, so hd0,3 not hd0,4 I apparently also needed to put in "Chainloader +1" too... what ever that does...

General :: Install Fedora 12 On Windows 7 As Dual Boot?

Mar 13, 2010

i installed windows 7 successfully. When I installed it,I created 40 gb of unallocated space in the hard disk for the Fedora installation. However, whenever i start the partition editor during the Fedora installation, it says that there is no free space in your hardware, even though it shows 40gb space in the disk partition table.
