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.
Any help would be usefull.
Regards,
Ger van Dijck.

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.

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"
