 Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2009 7:15 pm Post subject: Dual Boot Fedora 11 and Windows XP |
 |
|
| Since I had multiple failures with installing Arch Linux along side with Windows XP (System crash, hal.dll, corrupt installation, etc...fixed it all), I decided to go with Fedora. I booted the LiveCD, saying "Hey, this is kinda cool", so I booted back into windows to shrink and make a new partition (running on the one with 3 gigs left lul) for fedora. I did that, but the problem starts here: When I clicked "Install to Hard Drive", it did not detect my second partition. It assumed my first partition was alone. Do I need unallocated space for this to work?

| Wait, how is Arch doing that to your system? It must be something you are doing because it's not going to touch anything like hal.dll unless you tell it to. I think you should read the Arch wiki on how to install and set it up properly.

Insufficient CD space, and I don't have a DVD drive (I KNOW, EPIC FAIL)
And Linux is the only good enough system I know of to hack on (the real definition of hack...)
EDIT: Noz3001
I got hal.dll'd after a power outage after... I forgot. Strange, but I easily fixed it.

Don't blame my beloved arch :[.
So you mean you want to modify the kernel and stuff? (real hacking)

Not unless I really need to. I still have plenty to learn.
The Arch Linux installation got me all riled up. I'm all like "ZOMG WTF???" I should have read up on it. Now you got me thinking again. PM me some screenies of Arch Linux.
But no one answered my real question: | Quote: | | Do I need unallocated space for this to work? |

| If you're just using Linux to dick around (like I'm assuming you would be), you'd be best off just running it inside a VM. There isn't really any reason to use it on a desktop over Windows, so if it's just for fucking around, put it in a VM and save yourself the hassle.
