Windows 7 and Fedora dual system installation method

  

For beginner Linux (me too), I don't want to mess with Linux in the virtual machine, and I don't want to use Ubuntu with wubi. This integration is relatively simple to use Linux. I want to compare Fedora, RedHat or CentOS. Basic Linux operation, so we usually make a space under Windows and install Linux inside. This is a bad thing for beginners. If the GRUB boot error occurs or I don't understand it at first, it is convenient to format the Linux partition directly under Windows, and there will be problems that cannot boot the Windows operating system. The solution to such problems is more complicated. Is there a convenient way to install Linux on Windows systems like wubi? The answer is yes. I found out that a foreign language can be completely obtained by the author. To meet this demand, I extracted the information inside and practiced it again. Rewriting this article is convenient for readers, and everyone exchanges and exchanges.

Before installing Fedora, I must first give it a space. I have a 23GB space for Linux on Windows 7 Disk Management.

Restart, CD-ROM installation Fedora, the first few steps are nothing to say, just omit, to the time zone settings to pay attention to, do not check UTC, otherwise there will be one of the two systems time error.



When using the free space, the partition problem is solved by myself. I am a beginner so I have a 100M for /boot, 20G for /, and the rest. Give swap. The key point is, when you choose to boot, click change device, there is an optional boot sector installed in the MBR or a partition, here choose the /boot mount point just set, so Linux will not I am bothering MBR.





After doing these things, keep loading them, restart and find that there is no dual system selection menu. Windows7, don't worry. Here we use a free tool. EasyBCD (available for download) is a multi-system boot setup tool from NeoSmart Technologies, available at linuxidc.com/Linux/2007-12/10060.htm">http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2007- 12/10060.htm

Start the software after installation, click add new entry, select Linux/BSD system, select the 100M that was just mounted to /boo, because we just did not write GRUB to MBR, so To check "GRUB isn't installed to MBR/bootsector", then click Add.





Restart, the dual system menu is there, and there is no problem entering. If you want to delete Linux one day, delete it directly in EasyBCD and delete the Linux partition.
