Dualboot Fedora 29 и Windows 10

Если вы хотите ознакомиться с дистрибутивами Linux, практически используемыми на всевозможных предприятиях, то идеальным вариантом послужит Fedora. Поскольку она поддерживается Red Hat, работать с ней много приятнее нежели с Ubuntu. А если дополнительно установить GNOME v3.20.2+, то система будет выглядеть просто великолепно.

Мы покажем, как грамотно сделать dualboot Windows 10 и Fedora.

P.S. Способ, приведённый в статье, подойдёт и для Fedora 28.

• от 30 до 50 Гб свободного места на жёстком диске.
• USB-накопитель (Pendrive, она же флешка).
• ISO образ Fedora, который может быть скачан здесь.
• Rufus — утилита, позволяющая создавать загрузочные Flash/Pen/Key/USB-диски.

1. Выделение места для новой ОС

Вызвав утилиту Disk Management сочетанием клавиш Win + X -> k, выберите раздел, у которого вы собираетесь “позаимствовать” немного свободного места.

ПКМ -> Shrink Volume… -> Введите желаемый объём (в МБ) для сжатия.

Не сжимайте диск C, если там нет свободного места. Рекомендуется иметь минимум 30 Гб.

Вы увидите нераспределённое пространство.

2. Создание загрузочного образа

Откройте Rufus и выберите ISO.

Если ваш жесткий диск имеет схему разделов GPT, выберите GPT partition scheme for UEFI, в противном случае оставьте всё как есть. Нажмите start, после чего ваш USB-накопитель будет отформатирован и назначен как загрузочный.

Если ОС Windows уже была установлена на ваш ноутбук, то он будет иметь GPT.

3. Загрузка в USB-накопитель

Нажмите Win + X -> U, а затем Shift + R.

Выберите Use a device, после чего USB drive. Или же, вы можете перезагрузить компьютер, нажимая F12 (Dell) или ESC (hp), и выбрать USB-накопитель в параметрах загрузки.

4. Установка

Следуйте инструкциям, показанным на изображениях:

Для настройки разделов выберите Manual partitioning. Если у вас уже есть UEFI boot, тогда просто выберите существующий раздел EFI и смонтируйте его в /boot/efi.

Почему же так важно выбрать существующий системный раздел EFI нашей системы?

ОС Windows от Microsoft испытывает проблемы, когда она видит более одного раздела EFI во время установки. На данный момент, создание другого системного раздела EFI будет работать, однако, с повторной установкой Windows могут возникнуть проблемы.

После этого мы добавим один раздел для / и один для swap (подкачки), нажав +

Лучше указать размер swap-раздела от 5 ГБ до удвоенного размера оперативной памяти.

После этого вам нужно установить пароль root и создать нового пользователя. Когда установка закончится вы сможете загрузиться в ОС. Просто перезапустите и завершите процесс установки.

Теперь у вас есть Fedora-29 вместе с Windows 10. Вы можете включить в настройках мыши распознавание касания по тачпаду в качестве щелчка мыши и добавить сочетание клавиш Ctrl+Alt+T для запуска терминала.

Dual Booting Fedora 25 And Windows 10

• Decide what architecture of Fedora you want to install on your system i.e 32 bit or 64 bit.
• On the other hand you should also have a spare USB stick of at least 2gb. ​

​Basically there are two ways of installing Fedora 25 on your system:

1. Through Fedora Media Writer .

With the release of Fedora 25, Fedora community also released the Fedora Media Writer. This tool makes it easier than ever to download and install Fedora Workstation.

2. By downloading the Live Image .
This is the legacy way of installing any Linux distro by downloading its live image(ISO) to create a bootable USB stick.

>Don’t worry we are going to explain both the ways.

Prerequisites

Creating the partition

Before starting the process of installation of your Fedora 25, you have to create the partition on your hard disk so that the new operating system can be installed on it.
Creating a partition is easy to process but should be implemented with care.

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Right Click on ‘This PC’ and select ‘Manage’ for which you’ll administrative rights.
3. Go to Storage > Disk Management.
4. In the bottom half pane, you’ll find the list of all partitions. You’ will have to shrink a partition to make space for another.
5. Right-click on the partition, select ‘Shrink Partition’.
6. Enter the amount of space you would like your new partition to be. It cannot be more than free space for that drive. You can shrink multiple partitions to add more space. I recommend freeing up at least 20gb space.

Click Shrink and an un-allocated new volume will be generated. ​

​Turn Off Windows Fast Startup

​Go to Control Panel > Power Options.

1. Click on ‘Chose what the closing lid does’.
2. Click to Enable settings that is unavailable yet (Needs administrator access).
3. Deselect ‘Turn On Fast Startup’ and Save Changes.
4. Turning off Fast Start-up is optional but recommended. Also, if you want to get access to all files (documents, pictures, videos, music and everything else) in Ubuntu or Fedora it’s required to disable Fast Startup.

Setting Bios for UEFI support:

Do these at your own risk as some of the steps may cause temporary/permanent damage to your system. Turning Off UEFI/Secure Boot may cause security issues.

1. Restart your system and press ‘Esc’ to pause start-up. This key may differ in your system.
2. A Start-Up menu is displayed. Press the key defined to BIOS System/UEFI System. In my case it’s F10.
3. Go to System Configuration.
4. Turn Off Secure Boot
5. Turn On Legacy Boot
6. Save and Exit.

​Now we are all done and ready to install Fedora on our system. It is important to follow above mentioned instructions in order to install Fedora smoothly on your system. By following above mentioned instruction the guest operating system will be able to access all the files easily and the permissions to do administrative work and to modify system files will be granted.

Installation via Fedora Media Writer

Fedora Media writer is a small .exe installer which in turn I found was nothing but a Fedora’s personal Live USB creator. On exploring it more it felt like UNetbootin, but a lot, lot easier. You can download the latest version from here.

After firing it up you have to put on a spare USB and start the creation tool.

• The media writer tool is a beauty in itself, unlike the hassle users have to bear previously. This tool offers a load of options within a clean interface. User has to choose the image type and the USB destination, then user gets the right to download. Do keep in mind to choose 32bit or 64bit accordingly. Within no time the USB with the power of Fedora will ready.

• Now as the USB is ready you have to simply reboot the computer and open the Fedora installation setup. In order to do that make sure you have chosen the USB as first boot device in your BIOS settings.

• On booting through pen drive it will ask whether you want to try Fedora first or simply install it on Hard Drive on your system. You simply have to choose “Install it on Hard Drive”.

• After you choose desirable language and locale storage the installer starts installing packages. While the process is going on in background you can set the root password and/or add users.

• You are done.

How To Install Fedora 25 Via Live Image

• In order to create a bootable Fedora USB stick first insertUSB stick. Beware that all the data on the USB will be erased, so backup any data present on it.
• You’ll have to download the Live image from the website.You can download the latest images 32-bit from here and 64bit from here.

• For creating the live USB, I am using RUFUS. You can use any other Linux compatible software to create the Live USB.

You can download RUFUS here.

• Start the rufus application. On starting it a window will appear.
• Rufus will auto-detect the USB stick.
• On the window there will be an icon of CD Drive, click it.
• Browse to the downloaded ISO image and select it.

Press start.
