Install fedora16 in win7. 1. Download the ISO image file. To http://download.fedoraproject.or... ora-16-i386-DVD.iso (DVD) download fedora16 image files, not the start of the DVD version, with Live-Desktop, always prompt that the file is not found during installation, or unable to install. This indicates that it took a whole morning to complete the operation. Later, the DVD version was used successfully. Www.2cto.com
2. Partitioning: I installed my win7 system file on drive C, and there are three disks, D, E, and F. I am going to use drive E to install fedora16. I found a lot on the Internet about how to install fedora on the hard disk under win7, saying that a file system must be split into FAT32 partitions to install the fedora image file. So I will first Delete the edisk in the computer management, so that the edisk status is not used (at this time, there is no edisk ), then, in this unused disk, the 20 GB file type is FAT32, and the drive letter is E. Copy the ora16 image file to the current edisk (note that there is no space in use at this time, which can be seen in Computer Management ).
3. Add a startup Item. At the beginning, I saw that many people directly use EasyBCD as a visual tool to add startup items. Of course, anyone who sees the visualization tool will want to use it, and I am no exception, I found a download and install on the Internet. The tragedy happened: I couldn't open EasyBCD, so how could I not open EasyBCD when I went online all night, it's a waste of time! ~!!!)! Fortunately, win7 comes with a tool to edit the startup Item: bcdedit, and then finds the method to add the startup Item with bcdedit on the Internet: www.2cto.com
A) first download the complete grub4dos, decompress it, and put grldr, grldr. mbr, and menu. lst in the C root directory. B) run the "command line prompt" as the administrator (right-click the corresponding menu item and select the Administrator to run the command) and create a menu item first:
Bcdedit/create/d "grub"/application bootsectorc) at this time, a string is obtained, the following uses id to replace the string bcdedit/set {id} device partition = C (only the primary partition disk can be used here) bcdedit/set {id} path \ grldr. mbrbcdedit/displayorder {id}/addlast where gurb4dos is used to guide the installation of fedora.
4. image files are extracted. Use WinRAR to decompress the isolinux file in the ISO file of fedora to drive C. 5. Modify the menu. lst file. In menu. add the following section to the lst file: title install fedora 16 root (hd0, 0) kernel (hd0, 0)/isolinux/vmlinuz linux askmethodinitrd (hd0, 0)/isolinux/initrd. imgboot www.2cto.com
6. Restart your computer and you will find that you have another option when entering the system: window7 and grub. Select grub, and then you can enter grub's menu. Select install fedora 16. Select hard drive during installation. 7. Select sda6. Why is it sda6? Because I put the ISO ora ISO file on the E disk.
Partition explanation: Windows DOS LinuxC disk (hd0, 0)/dev/sda1D disk (hd0, 4)/dev/sda5E disk (hd0, 5)/dev/sda6F disk (hd0, 6)/dev/sda7
With this table, you can place it on any disk. Note that it is in FAT32 format. 8. Use free space for installation. It took about 30 minutes to complete the installation.
