My laptop is a Dell XPS, 4 years old.. 2Gb memory, 100Gb HD. It has an XP NTFS partition, a FAT partition for data between Win & Lin. and it has a / and /home linux partitions, in total sda1-sda8. USUALLY when I have done an install, I just reformat sda5 "/" and use sda6 as /home, keeping all my data. It USED to have the Dell rescue partition, but last time I tried to install Fedora & initialized the HD, I had to reinstall XP from scratch, so I just created an NTFS partition, swap, /, and /home. Other installers would let me do a manual install, and let me select sda5 for "/" and reformat it. Anaconda doesn't seem to like my HD. > > Yes, what is the output of fdisk -l hm, fdisk -l just returns my prompt back, no entry shown. fdisk /dev/sda says it cannot open that. > > You might find that there is no space left. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
