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.
Fedora 40 should be installed (fresh) on the free space partition , but one way or another I do not manage.
Since you don't show a /boot/efi partition the assumption is that your system is older and is using a bios boot. Assuming GUID Partition table which is indicated by the "microsoft reserved" partition. The netinstall DVD should take you to the install options of which one is "custom". There you should be able to see the free space and assign part of it as /boot and the rest for the Operating system. You may need a small 2MB partition designated as a"Bios Boot"
