Then you can preserve the partition scheme but the EFI boot process will recognize partitions beyond number 4. I recommend using the Windows recovery option which moves the Recovery partition to a USB stick, then deleting the Recovery and Diagnostic partitions before or during the Fedora install process.
These installation instructions are incomplete. Maybe you should update them or take them offline, please. What makes you feel that these instructions are incomplete? Success rates for repairs from there are slim. No, none of the repair tools of microsoft nor fedora will work from there. Also why do you not have any dedicated swap space? Do you have applications that should not be using the hard disk in case the memory is full? Have a question or suggestion?

If you see an exclamation mark on the disk icon under System, click on it and see what kind of disk configuration you can use here. Select the disk and click on Done. You may see a warning message now. In my case, I did not create free space in the step 2 and hence it complained that there is not enough free space to install Fedora. It will take a few minutes to extract files and install them.
Hit it. Click the top right corner to bring down the menu and select Restart. When the system starts now, you should see the Grub bootloader screen with option to boot into Fedora and Windows. You are almost there. Many distributions like Ubuntu ask you to create an admin user during the installation itself. On the other hand, Fedora gives you this option when you log in to the installed system for the first time.
When you first log in, it runs a setup and creation of user and password is part of this initial setup. If you have any questions or if you are facing any issues while following this tutorial, please let me know in the comment system.
Also a movie buff with a soft corner for film noir. Hi, A couple of hours after posting my question I arrived to the solution. Selecting the first leads to an unusable system, likely because Fedora is installed in the wrong mode for this computer. If you ended up in that situation, try reinstalling with UEFI mode and the system should allow you to recover. Hi, I followed these instructions on my Dell 2-in-1 and ended up with a system that cannot recognize the boot HD.
Any hints? Hmm… check two things…. The available size of the hard drive will be presented in an editable field. Knowing that a new installation of Windows 7 takes up about 7 GB of disk space, any value higher than this should be sufficient. For this tutorial, I chose to allocate 30 GB to Windows. Edit partition size. Here is the new size for Windows.
Click Apply. Specify partition size. The Windows partitioner will create two partitions. The unallocated space will be used for installing Fedora Click Next to install Windows. Continue installation. For this tutorial, I used the DVD installation image. Click until you get to the step shown in the image below.
Fedora 14 partition methods. I have install it exactly from your help these 4 pages. When dual-booting a Linux distribution and Windows, it is best to install Windows first. Doing that saves you a lot of headaches.
Hope that helps? With Fedora already installed, I have to assume that you used all available space on the disk for Fedora, right? If true, that means most of the disk space is under the Volume Group, even if they are not allocated to logical volumes. With a setup like that, I do not see how you can reclaim disk space from a Volume Group to install another OS. Your two alternatives are, reinstall or get another disk.
Thanks for this usefull tutorial. I install fedora 14 on a Dell Inspiron with windows 7 and work very well. God bless you! I am trying to dual boot WindowsXp and Fedora For that purpose I partitioned hard disk using Easeus partitioning tool. Why the unallocated space between C and D.
