1 EasyBCD

Since originally installed Windows 7, it is not convenient to modify the startup configuration file because the boot. ini file is no longer available in Windows 7. Therefore, the EasyBCD tool is used to add grub support. The specific steps are as follows:

(1) EasyBCD: http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2007-12/10060.htm

(2) Add Entry --> ISO boot: select the iso ora ISO image file and click Add

2 feodra Installation Steps

(1) download the Fedora iso Image File

(2) extract the/images/install. img, initrd. img, and vmlinuz files and put them in one partition. The partition format is best fat, but other formats do not seem to work. Then copy the iso file to this partition. The only difference in USB flash disk installation is to copy the file mentioned above to a USB flash disk.

(3) restart the system, select the one added with EasyBCD in the boot menu, and enter grub. The installation method is the same as that of the hard disk of other linux versions, enter the following command at one time:

Root (hdx, y) // locate the partition where the files are stored in (2)

Kernel/vmlinuz // assume that all the above files are in the top-level directory of the partition. If not, access the files by absolute path.

Initrd/initrd. img

Boot // restart

(4) This will go to the Fedora installation interface. Select the language and keyboard layout. The most important thing is to go to the next step and locate install. img position. First select a partition, and then enter install in the partition. img absolute path, OK.

(5) What is a little more troublesome is partitioning. It is enough to partition at least two partitions based on your preferences./And swap are used to the following:

/

/Home

Swap

Consider the size of each of the above three partitions.
