64-bit CentOS 6.4 dual-system installation in Win7

This article is made up of two articles. Are: CentOS 6.4 Win7 dual system installation graphic details () and Windows 7 CentOS 6.4 dual system installation ()

The process of installing CentOS in the former is detailed, and the latter takes into account the problem that the installation file of CentOS 6.4 is too large. Here I just integrated the two articles and provided the latter with a diagram. I hope it will be useful to you.

1. difficulties:

(1) The Linux system recognizes the FAT32 File System in Windows and does not recognize the NTFS file system. Therefore, no sda can be selected during Linux installation.

(2) A single file in the FAT32 file system cannot exceed 4 GB

(3) CentOS 6.4 files larger than 4 GB

Conclusion: It is not feasible to store and install ISO using the FAT32 and NTFS systems in Win7. Therefore, it is necessary to use tools to separate a Linux File System, such as ext3, which is not limited by 4G.

2. Prepare the software:

(1) EasyBCD: Set the boot Guide

(2) PQmagic: partition master, used for formatting to ext3, not supported by other software (I tried diskgenius here)

Partition magician Paragon Partition Manager™10.0 Server Chinese Green Server Edition

(3) Ext2Fsd: Mount linux file systems such as ext1, ext2, and ext3 in win7

In Windows 7, use Ext2Fsd to read and write the Linux Ext3/Ext4 partition file.

(4) WinGrub

(5) Diskgenius: Optional. You can use Pqmagicd or the built-in disk management tool in the system. This is because I am used to it.

(6) CentOS6.4: 64-bit installation file, which is mandatory.

3. Operation Process:

Step 1: preparation phase:

1> prepare idle disk partitions. Free up a free partition in the system. You can use diskgenius (which is convenient for me) or another disk management tool provided by the system.

If Diskgenius can be used to re-partition, you can adjust the size of the existing partition without compromising the existing data.

After the image is selected, select the corresponding operation in the pop-up box.

2> prepare the ext3 file system. Here, we use Pqmagic. After opening the software, right-click the idle partition that we just split, Click create partition, and select lunix ext3 when selecting the file system. This is only used to store the CentOS6.4 Installation File, so do not have to be too large, 10 Gb is enough, the remaining 10 Gb can be reserved for CentOS installation partition (PS: This is only to demonstrate the installation process, so only 20 GB is used, when you actually install, the disk space can be added to the CentOS installation partition ).

3> load the ext3 partition to win7. Although ext3 partitions are available, ext3 partitions cannot be used in win7. You must use the Ext2Fsd tool to load ext3 partitions. Open the Ext2Fsd interface, right-click the newly formatted linux ext3 partition, and select the configuration file system. The displayed dialog box is as follows:

Click Change and exit. After the software operation is complete, you can use the ext3 partition in my computer.

4> store ISO files. Copy the CentOS6.4 installation file to the ext3 partition, and decompress the images and isolinux folders in DVD1 to the partition above (PS: Here figure is Mr. in Johness, the old graph of version 6.3 ):

The above four steps only solve the problem that the CentOS6.4 Installation File is larger than 4G, the following continues the installation process (PS: The following installation extension Mr. johness's article, so it may not be connected with the above picture, as long as you know the installation process ).

Step 2: boot Configuration:

We open Wingrub and use the tool

Get the ID of the new partition (PS: Here is the ID of the previously created ext3 partition)

Is hd0, 4, remember

Enable EasyBCD and add the startup Item.

Configure

Restart and complete the second step;
