Hello all

I am trying to create a Hyper-V 2012 Virtual machine running Cent0S 6.5 for a client. Currently I have the VM set up with two SCSI disks one of size 25GB and one of size 60 GB.. The 25 GB disk will be the OS disk and the 60 GB disk will be the data disk which holds the data from the database. I want to create an LVM on the 60 GB disk and increase it over time as the database gets bigger. As soon as the disk gets to about 1 TB, I will create a third disk, and extend the Volume Group to include that third disk as well. The third disk will eventually grow past 1TB as well (but not 2TB)

Overall my question is, would this type of set up be possibly using a MBR Bios set up? or would I HAVE To use GPT?

all help is greatly appreciated!

I try to upgrade the disto currently running in my box:

Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (squeeze)
Release: 6.0
Codename: squeeze

My sources.list looks like following:

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main

After 2 commands:

aptitude update
aptitude upgrade

I have the same old good squeeze.
Help, please

I just got a laptop with a 500GB hard drive installed with a clean copy of Win 7. I'm trying to shrink the windows volume from windows using Disk management and it's given me 230GB. There's less than 15 gig being used by the win 7 install. I want to dual boot but not if it's gonna cost me half the disk! I followed suggestions from he http://skimfeed.com/blog/windows-7-f...ize-shrinking/ which freed up all of 280MB. Can anyone suggest how I can get more shrinkage out of win 7?

I tried to install Debian 8 and 7 but I get error message at partitioning stage:

"Failed to create a file system
The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."

After that I couldn't advance further.

I booted from a live Debian and the HardDisk actually shows there with some older files on it.

I tried to install even Windows but from the start it shows the computer doesn't have a Hard Disk Drive so the installation stops right at the start.

Any ideas what is wrong and is there any fix?

Hi

My machine was a dual boot debain + W7. The debian had LUKS encryption and LVM.

I had to re-install W7 and now there is no access to the grub menu and of course to the debian installation.

I tried "boot repair disk"
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/
, but it couldnt access the encrypted volume. It did generate the following output:
paste.ubuntu.com/10591353

Would appreciate help how to get the boot repair disk to access the encrypted partition and recover the grub menu

Thanks

Have Toshiba Tecra 64-bit 500gb disk 4gb ram running Windows 7 professional it has Intel core i5 processor.
I downloaded iso file of DVD LinuxMint Rebecca Cinnamon to DVD.
When I restart the system with the DVD inserted it immediately opens in Windows 7.
I could not follow the instructions to "disable secure boot and (u)efi".
Have partitioned the disk to allocate 100 gb to Linux in E:
First of all I really would like to run Live DVD and then later on to install it permanently it the E: partition.
Can I just simply copy the iso file into disk E:
Help from anyone is greatly appreciated.
Best regards to all of you.

Hi

I am very suprised! I previously had a Windows 7 desktop, dual boot with Windows Server 2012 R2. I didn't care much about 2012 R2, so I went with a Debian server on another computer.

I wanted to triple boot my computer, so I looked at my BIOS to see if my computer has UEFI support, but it doesnt, so I am not able to boot to GPT. One decision lead to another, and I decided not to install Hackintosh. As part of this process, I had converted it to GPT, and then back to MBR when installing Windows 8.1 Pro. Everything went well.

When I went to install Debian 7, it was not recognizing anything on that drive. I found out it was a backup GUID partition table left over. I used fixparts found on rodsbooks.com, and I fixed the disk partition table.

Now this is where things get weird. Before installing, I created a primary partition for /, and an extended partition with 5 logical partitions inside it. I installed Debian 7 from a live install DVD, and I manually created the partitions. I created a 4GB /, 16GB /usr, 4GB /var, and 64GB /home. Then I left a bunch of free space (~145GB) and then 16GB swap space. (I have 8GB ram, and I plan to hibernate sometimes).

After a successful installation, installation of packages, reboots, and frustration with PCI card problems, I rebooted to Windows 8.1.

Upon opening diskpart gui, I was greeted with the picture attached.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

I have an old debian distro installed on hard disk. The distro is on sda1 partition. I also have Win7 on a seperate hard disk which is on sdb1.
When I boot up, GRUB bootloader opens up and gives me the option to select either OS.

So I recently installed a new debian distro and put into my sda2 partition.
But now when I boot up, GRUB only sees the new distro in sda2 and I can't access the distro in sda1 or Win7 in sdb1.

On one thread someone said mounting the partitions and then using 'update-grub' will resolve the problem.
I tried it and re-booted, but GRUB still only offers the newly installed distro in sda2.

Can someone help please?
