Installing Linux Fedora

Hello, I had Installed win 2003 and 98, and I also had Linux fedora on another partition, when I format my windows systems and install only win 2003 and when I try to repair the boot options the linux instalation gives me the followinf error:
unable to align partition properly. this probably means that another partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't have the correct bios geometry. it is safe to ignore but ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders. I ignored it, and the installation finished.
I deleted my linux instalation, so when I try to install again it gives me the same. can anybody help me!!!!!!
thanks

There is bug in parted and there are many solutions or workaround for that.
The simplest ever is:
Go to BIOS and change the "access mode" from "AUTO" to "LBA".
If this will notwork then check for further solutions here:

  • Ideacenter k450 - Error 1962 after installing Linux

    After installing Linux (Fedora 19) I get the error 1962 when trying to boot.
    - Secure Boot is off
    - CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is enabled (boot mode auto, EUFI first)
    - OS Optimized Defaults (disable)
    I googled a lot, found lots of solutions ( none of them work 100%)
    I got grub working once, dunno anymore what I did, but then I could only boot Linux, when trying to boot Windows
    I got the error:
    boot\bcd 0xc0000225
    I googled for a solution to that problem. but none of the found solutions work...

    I fixed it.
    The solution is to install Fedora(linux) from DVD in EUFI modus, you do this by creating an EUFI boot usb stick and boot from that, and then continue installing from the install DVD.
    This way Fedora will install grub-efi correctly and not install a regular grub which will not work in EUFI mode or some misformed grub-efi.

    Hi,
    I think that Feedbak forum is not the best place for this problem.
    You should ask this into
    => Installation Forum : Database Installation
    or
    => Linux Forum : Generic Linux
    Anyway, you can find an install doc here :

  • Install 9iDB on Linux Fedora Core 3

    I expected a problem when I try to install 9iDB on Linux Fedora Core 3, the installation takes a long time and nothing is working, it stays at 0%.
    Have you any idea?
    Thanks

    Rajeev,
    this is not a good link because FC1 has 2.4 kernel. and old GLIBC.
    But there is serious problem to install 9i on OS with 2.6 kernel and GLIBC 2.3.
    My advice is install older OS version such as RH 7.2 - 9 or Suse 8,9, FC1
    Or simply dongrade the kernel to 2.4 version and also downgrade the GLIBC

  • Problem Configureing Oracle10g with linux fedora core5

    dear forum members,
    when i try to configure oracle 10g in linux fedora core5 with the followning commnad

    I get the follwoing error message

    I also set ORACLE_HOME environment variable before the configure commnad.
    yours truely
    Raja C
    please give me suggestion to configure the oracle10g.

    I was having horrible troubles installing Oracle XE on FC5 until I realized one thing -- I had upgraded packages.
    You have to do the installs just as you want them off the CDs, then install Oracle XE, then upgrade your other packages. I'm not sure which one, but one of the upgrade packages breaks the XE install.
    You would also have trouble with linking ntcontab if you were doing an oracle 10gR2 install with the upgraded set. I haven't figured out why yet but I spent all weekend on it ;)

  • Running FDS2 Express as a service on Linux (Fedora Core)

    Hello,
    I've just installed the Flex Data Service 2 Express on a
    dedicated server running on linux (Fedora Core).
    I can run the server and everything works fine but as soon as
    I loggout, the server stops running.
    I believe I need to run as a "background" service or
    something like that.
    Any hint would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    To run in the background, use the nohup command and redirect

  • How to install Linux on Sun Blade 2000

    hi,all.
    There is a sun blade 2000 workstation in our lab.And my teacher ask me to install a Linux OS instead of the Solaris8 which is preinstalled in this machine.This thing is very difficult to me,for I am not only a new to Linux,but also a totally freshman to Sun OS and its Hardware.
    I have only installed a Fedora 11 in my x86 machine.But i dont know how the sparc architecture working and how to start my installation,even include how and where to boot from installation CD.
    Please tell me what the step of installation and how to do.Furthemore,please recommend a Linux distribution suitable for the blade 2000.
    Thank you very much.

    If you never ever worked with Linux then Debian is not really the OS you want to choice first, don't get me wrong its very good, but i think Ubuntu which is based on it is more user friendly
    Ubuntu has also a Sparc version and a forum for Sun Sparc users.
    http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=146
    some issues related to the type of server you have : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588088
    Then you have also the question if you want to install the server edition or the desktop version?
    for example dapper server is available here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/dapper/daily/current/dapper-server-sparc.iso

    Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

  • Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

    I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks.  The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed.  I wish
    to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8.  Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation? 
    If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
    This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

    Technically, no.  The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system.  It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
    You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM.  A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
    Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
    Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
    A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
    for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
    You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
    The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

  • Wiping WinXP and installing Linux

    Hello,
    I just joined today. I have a question about how I should go about updating certain things in my R51.
    I greatly favor Linux over Windows-- I use the Linux distro MEPIS 8.5 in one desktop tower, and the Linux distro sidux in another desktop tower. I just bought an R51 (type 2895-AU3) Thinkpad a few days ago- this is my first laptop. While I wasn't given any OS disc(s), it came loaded with WinXP. Shortly after getting home with the R51, I looked up what updates are available for it from Lenovo. For WinXP, there are a number of them but when I changed the OS option to Linux, only 3 turned up, as I recall, for the HDD and for the CD-RW/DVD. I'm wondering if, while I still have WinXP installed, I should update the BIOS and various other things for WinXP and then wipe the WindowsXP and install MEPIS.
    When I ran my MEPIS live CD in the R51 (and a Linux live CD doesn't install Linux, yet), I noticed that the boot info said the BIOS was outdated (and maybe it said it needs updating?) The BIOS is currently version 1.21 (1VET63WW) and is dated 21 Feb. 2005.
    Are there so many Lenovo-supplied updates for WinXP because that OS needs them in order for that OS to be optimized for use today, while so few updates for Linux because things are basically OK for Linux (except for the three I found in my seach)?
    So I'm asking:  Should I first do the Lenovo updates (BIOS, etc.) for WinXP, then wipe the WinXP and install MEPIS, doing later the Linux updates from Lenovo?
    [A short while ago I read about some bad update bug offered in a Lenovo BIOS update for some unspecified ThinkPad. I of course want to avoid anything that makes my laptop unuseable.]
    Thanks

    If I'm not too late, Just install Ubuntu. Not sure if it's the only one or not, But it can be installed inside windows like an program. When it boots you will have the option to choose windows or ubuntu. Best way to install it is to load the iso with any image loaders (poweriso, magiciso, deamontools) It will install faster than a burned CD. Also disconnect from the internet before install. Or it will install from the internet which will be over 30mins long. Ubuntu is very easy to use.

  • Can I install Linux on an external drive?

    I'm kinda curious about something. If I boot up off an external firewire drive at boot time and I have previously partitioned it into 2 partitions (techtool or iPartition) is it possible to install a Intel Linux distro on the 2nd partitition?
    When I go to boot from that external drive will the Linux installed boot loader allow me to select OSX or Linux to actually boot from?
    Even better can I just install Linux on this external drive in the only partition?
    I'm only looking to experiment with a Linux distro and I don't want to use Parallels anymore so I'm wondering if I can use an external drive to do so.
    TIA,
    Peter

    Here is an indirect answer. I know you can using Paralles, not sure about the other way though.
