Hi All,
I had a total crash on my PC and had to restore Windows 10 Professionel by
using Veeam Recorvery. This was succesfull , but the bootloader was gone
and Fedora 40 also .
I did install a 1 Terra SSD drive .
I burned a netinstall DVD Fedora 40 and tried to install Fedora 40 :
Normally this is no problem ,but I am not able to create the correct disk
partitioning . See following disk layout.
sda1 partition ntfs 348.71 Mb system reserved.
sda2 partition ntfs 195.35 Gb Windows 10 Professionel (C:\).
sda 3 partition 251.02 Gb.
sda 5 partition ntfs 251.02 Gb Ger Pro (D:\)
free space 484.79 Gb.
I have often seen disks where the extended partition is the last partition and occupies all the
remaining space on the drive so I'm wondering if some legacy software won't support your
proposed layout. It would not be surprising that linux tools don't allow a partition structure that
isn't properly supported by some Windows or DOS software.
If your system supports GPT you should use that, if only because at some point you may
need to move the disk to a newer system. If you are stuck with MBR, try expanding the
extended partition. You should be able to do that with Windows. Linux should install to
the unallocated portion of the extended partition.
Fedora 40 should be installed (fresh) on the free space partition , but
one way or another I do not manage.
Any help would be usefull.
Regards,
Ger van Dijck.
