I've installed another hard drive in this computer and would like to be able to install Fedora-20 on it from an exiting F-20-beta iso file already on this same computer. I can't seem to find any instructions for doing this. No matter what I have asked Google it keeps telling me how to make an install DVD, mainly from Windows! I don't want that, I just don't want to burn another dvd for one use. It seems there should be a way?
Where do I find an instruction for doing that?

Well I couldn't make that work, after messing for a while I figured dvd's are cheaper than my time and burnt the dvd. I had not problem installing in VMware from the iso a few weeks ago?
Anyway that worked, I installed the f20beta on the second drive, /dev/sdb but the installer messed up the boot routine and now I have to press F9 at turn-on to get a boot screen enabling me to boot the first drive for F19.
I guess I need to learn how to fix grub although this will work for the present since I imagine I wont need F19 much longer once F20 is released.
Thanks,
Bob

Can't say about Fedora 19 so this is a 'try this' and I really don't like 'try this' suggestions.
But... In the past I have booted the *same version* disk and told it to *update*. Nothing gets updated since all is the same or newer but Grub gets rewritten.
YMMV but it has worked for m in the past.

I was going to try that but didn't have an install disk, I probably installed from a Live Spin using a USB thumb drive. Can make another one when I feel motivated, in the mean time I have a good work around.

I thought I knew how to deal with the installer having done it a number of times now but apparently I did something wrong. I updated it too, so I hesitate to re-install. The install was on a separate drive that I had cleared completely. I didn't expect it to wipe out grub, thought it would add the new system. It didn't. Well it really didn't wipe out grub, just created another one. No matter, not what I expected.

This seems reminiscent of a problem I ran into some months ago. I have Fedora 16 on a separate hard drive, Ubuntu 13.04 on mainHD and a partition on that HD for Fedora 19. I did something I should not have with Fedora 19, don't remember what. Anyway I used the iso on the usb stick to re install Fedora 19 without overwriting core or home, It rebuilt grub as expected but in doing so also rebuilt the Fedora 16 grub making it unusable plus it seems to have installed a new Fedora 19 somewhere. When I get an chance I'll investigate the partitions and LVM to find what is happening. I can access Fedora 16 files but cannot boot into it. A salient lesson. Roger

Yet another example of bad multiboot UX and why VM's are so useful. But anyway, if you want to boot Fedora 16, doing this ought to work:
Boot Fedora 19. And then assemble the parts of Fedora 16 at /mnt. So something like this:
1. Make sure the LV's are active with lvscan, using lvchange if necessary. 2. mount the F16 root LV at /mnt 3. mount the F16 boot at /mnt/boot 4. run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
That ought to cause mkconfig to find the F16 installation, its fstsab, and create an entry for it in the F19 grub.cfg. If it doesn't work, from Fedora 19 download bootinfoscript and run it, then post the report somewhere like pastebin.com and post the URL here.

A Live-CD (DVD) will, all that I know of, *always* over write an existing install. That I know of anyway, They are a 'write this to the disk' system. It has been a long time but I (me!) do not know of a Live-CD that does disk partitioning. Maybe
Now you mentioned Windows. *If* you have Windows install you need to 'shrink' the Windows section and make a place for the Linux to be installed.
If you have Win 7 it has a disk partitioning program to do that included. Else you will have to use something else.

That's definitely not the default behavior with the Fedora installer since Fedora 18. With Fedora 17 and older, the default option was to replace existing Linux, and it was plainly marked with other options described on the same window.
That I know of anyway, They are a 'write this to the disk' system. It has been a long time but I (me!) do not know of a Live-CD that does disk partitioning.
On Fedora, the same installer is used for live desktop and DVD installs. It has the same partitioning functionality in either case.
The older installer for live installs was limited to rootfs being ext4 because the live file system was imaged to the target partition or LV, and then resized as a post install operation. That hasn't been the case since F18's installer, which uses rsync for live installs, and will install to whatever file system and layout that the installer supports (which is the same as for DVD and netinstall images).
Now you mentioned Windows. *If* you have Windows install you need to 'shrink' the Windows section and make a place for the Linux to be installed.
If you have Win 7 it has a disk partitioning program to do that included. Else you will have to use something else.
Fedora 19 and 20 support [1] resizing NTFS volumes in both the guided and custom partitioning paths. In Fedora 18 my recollection was that the guided path had no UI for choosing how much to shrink the volume by. Whereas the UI in F19 and F20 is much more obvious in the guided path, with a shrink button that reveals a slider to choose the shrink amount.
In custom partitioning, when you click on the NTFS volume, there's no obvious UI for resizing, but the volume size field can be edited. Click on that, and enter a smaller value, and this will cause free space to be made available from which you can specify new mount points for a new installation.
In all cases with the new installer UI, all layout changes merely create an edit list. Nothing is changed on disk until you click the Begin Installation button from the hub (the main menu).
Chris Murphy
[1] This is a best effort support case, as the installer doesn't actually do the resizing, it's done via the NTFS-3G. But it is a test case for Fedora QA so it does get some testing and ought to work.

That is a real improvement. I have looked at several Live-CD/DVDs but I can not ever recall installing one. I, personally, prefer fresh installs. I find is much easier to reconfigure a few things than to find and repair some odd-ball problem casued by a mixture of old and new settings.
Maybe it's just me but I prefer to *use* my Linux install(s) than to constantly be *fixing* them. :-)

No installer should overwrite itself or another system without it being clear it's doing so, or ideally only possible by explicit action by the user. Otherwise it's bad design or a bug. Much consideration went into the new installer UI specifically to make it more clear when existing data is going to be removed.

I'll have to run the installer without actually going beyond the point of writing to disk. I remember there were three items to delete but I think they were all on the "new" HD [on which I had done rm -fr *] and I just clicked delete for them all. I still have a mental image but can't read the details!
Actually I think the present situation might really be preferred [by me]. Much like bringing up the BIOS setup screen with DEL at turn on I press "F9" and get a boot menu, select the hard drive I want and proceed with one of the grub screens, different but not a real problem. I kind of like the idea of completely separate systems. I also have a copy of F20b in a VMware VM which works well enough using XFCE instead of the unfathomable Gnome3.

Almost right and that is the way I have done it for years---However--- Ubuntu upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 found the Fedora 16 and included it in the Grub boot. Because I forgot to take the side of my computer box and pull the cable from the hard drive before upgrading.
Now that it's grub has been discombobulated it will not boot from F12. Good thought though. Roger

You could install F20 from an USB-stick, as a simple alternative.
1. isohybrid fedora20.iso 2. cat fedora20.iso > /dev/sdX (the device name of your stick) 3. Set BIOS to boot from your stick
Isohybrid is in the syslinux package.

Isohybrid makes the image a "hybrid", being bootable from both CD and a USB-drive.
ah, so it modifies the ISO image in place, does it?
