Sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk –no-reread -H255 /dev/hdaīut the problem with Ghost and partition magic persisted. Reinstalled FC3 at boot entered linux hda=3876,240,63īut the same error with norton ghost occured.īooted with FC3 rescue disk and skipped mount partition. It seems Windows uses the CHS system and Fedora core uses LBA to define disk geometry.įdisk -l /dev/hda to find out CHS is 3876,240,63 It found LBA to be correct and attempted to correct CHS value. Partion Magic 8.0 in XP Home detected discrepancies in LBA and CHS. Tried to use Norton Ghost 8 to make an image of FC3 and thats when i received this error: Laptop was initally dual boot XP Home(hda0) and fc2(hda5).Īfter the installtion was able to boot both FC3 and XP Home. I’m sure that Fedora will change his view. I Install it many times (and use it on my work) and it runs always beautifull even the installer (Anaconda) looks professional and user-friendly.
Ubuntu can learn a thing or 1000 of from the Fedora distro. Told him I would come back when Fedora Core 3 was out. Scratch this Windows user (my brother in law) from the list of people who started too think that Linux is ready for desktop use, Ubuntu showed him otherwise Quited right after that! Didn’t dare too demonstrate Kino and firewire camcorder connection, the disaster was allready great enough. And the application I downloaded too show off the TV tune card (Zapping in Univers) turned out too be a very old version (still gtk-1.2) and garbled the complete screen. My brother in law was really impressed with its first contact with Linux (NOT), especially when I showed him, after the above disaster, the package manager (Synaptic), Boy what a bloated user unfriendly GUI, tried to explain the working but got only glazed looks back. Mp3, Audio CD and DVD didn’t work either and installation of it is a lot harder then on Fedora, google on Ubuntu and multimedia and try it, I failed too manage too get Totem too show DVD’s. Now I’m in a rant mode, couldn’t even demonstrate the USB key automounting with HAL/GVM with Ubuntu (none of the three and a Sony camera, all of them no problem on my Gentoo machine at home with the same hardware configuration). No-way in Ubuntu, couldn’t even got spelling checker working with Dutch on Ubuntu after downloading it with OOo itself. Add actually caring about no-english people to the list of Fedora firsts, like language switching Open-Office.
