I was planning to install Fedora 7 (I agree it's a VERY old version, at this point I don't have a copy of Fedora 10 or 11 CD/DVD) in my home PC. With the first /dev/hda already running Fedora 5 (agreed, am out-o-f-date), I backed up the data in /dev/hdb and booted via Fedora 7 CD. Via the install process (GUI driven) I created fresh partitions in /dev/hdb, formatted them, selected the packages to install and started the installation; few minutes into the installation, install complained that it didn't have enough space (aoubt 900mb) for /mnt/sysimage (something like that).
So, I decided to defer the installation and reboot back into original config with FC5 but GRUB complained with Error 22. FWIW, FC7 CD came bundled with EFY Dec'07 issue and during the installation, GRUB did not detect my existing operating systems in /dev/hda. I had multiple FC5 running different kernels, Ubuntu (again quite old) and win 2000. Looking at Google search and browsing, and reading through the various forums, it seems to me that the existing OS cofigs in /dev/hda is lost forever ? Is this correct ? or is there a way to recover and fix this permanently to retrieve the working config ? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. -- regards Ramanathan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
