[qubes-users] New User, First Time Install - Have I lost everything?
I don't know the “auto” option, but it probably behaves the same as with Fedora. Just a quick guess: Your Windows partition is still present on your HDD, but you cannot boot Windows (see below why). I don't believe the installer to be so stupid to replace existing partitions. For security reasons, dualboot is not supported by default. In past, it used to be enabled, but this has caused some potential security issues: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-secpack/blob/master/QSBs/qsb-020-2015.txt If you want dualboot, you still can: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/multiboot/ If you want to access data stored on Windows partition from QubesOS (with all drawbacks related to accessing NTFS from Linux), I suggest this: 1. Create an AppVM for that. (Alternatively: use disposable VM) 2. In Qubes Manager, attach the Windows partition. 3. In the AppVM, you can mount it and browse it, like on usual Linux distributions. (You need NTFS drivers installed.) Regards, Vít Šesták 'v6ak' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] New User, First Time Install - Have I lost everything?
Hello, I read the Installation page but there's not much to it so assumed that it would be like a Linux desktop installation so I went into Disk management in Windows 10 and created a new 200gb partition with the intention of testing it out by way of dual booting. There is just the one HDD in the PC and it had Windows 10 installed + a separate partition that stored data only (docs, downloaded programs etc) and then I added the new partition, left it as free space and rebooted. I chose the Auto option for installing, thinking that A. Previous times I've installed Linux it installed to the free space, B. There is nothing in the documentation that explains in detail how to install Qubes into a new partition and finally, there was no warning to say that 'All Data on the HDD selected will be deleted' The install has gone fine as much as I can tell but I can't tell if the data partition is still there. If I go into Computer it just shows /Home and all the Qubes OS stuff. Can someone please tell me what has happened here?
