hda and sda are used by Windows, except hda1 which is a souvenir
from
my last trip to Fedora Core world , what to do with hda1?
Where is your boot
partition?
It's in hda1 (LVM)? Maybe that LVM can be expanded. You can post the
output of vgdisplay -v?
hdb is a large disk 160 GB and allocated for Linuxes. There were
some
partitions which I had thought for Fedora's use. Unfortunately I was
frighten while installing Fedora because I remember the previous
Fedora installation. I did not find the way to get partition manager
to do what I wanted so I gave all hdb to Fedora. The installation
seemed to proceed well, but after it I could not start neither Fedora
nor Windows. Fortunately I could repair Windows installation and also
the Grub, thanks to good advice from different countries.
I know, that LVM makes me possible to change logical volumes but not
just the one were /boot is residing. I am not very keen on installing
Fedora again, but is there any other possibility?
The boot filesystem can be
expanded for example by booting from a live
cd. If you have free space on LV.
Is it possible to repartition hdb in Fedora so that I could install
an
other distro also to hdb?
You want not to loss data?
In this case it's possible, but you have to change filesystem size and
LV to shrink it, if you don't have free space on VG.
With vgdisplay -v we can see if you can or not
