Hello

I had a new PC DELL without OS inside, and i want to install a Fedora31 OS.

Please, i need a help to do that.

Thanks

Have you tried sticking in a dvd and pressing f10 or whatever to boot off your dvd? It should look after the most of it.

If you don't have a dvd buy someone a few beers and drink them while he does it for you.

HHHH Good idea

Really?? Kind of odd you post a question about needing help to install Fedora...and have the icon on your operating system show you're posting it FROM A FEDORA SYSTEM. How did you manage that?

Past that, the Fedora website (where you download Fedora), has complete installation instructions, and just saying "PC DELL" doesn't give us much to help you with. What have you done/tried so far? Where are you stuck?

Hello

OK i will to explain more

First, i had Windows10 OS installed in my new PC DELL.

I put a Fedora31 OS in the USB by using a netbootusb from another PC HP windowsxp.

Second, i put this USB with Fedora31 in my second PC DELL, and when i tried to boot from this usb, i lost my data locally HDD of DELL.

I successfully installed fedora, but when i do Restart of Fedora and i deconnect my usb, fedora dont be started.

also, when i tried to install the utilities like virtualbox, update,..... , i cant

examples:
[liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[liveuser@localhost-live yum.repos.d]$ su
[root@localhost-live yum.repos.d]# wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...rtualbox.repos

Did you use the fedora net install iso or dvd iso?
open a terminal and post the output of the following

So you DID install Fedora..and you still don't tell us what kind of "PC DELL" you're talking about. Model? Laptop/desktop??
...which will only happen if you format your hard drive. Obviously, formatting a hard drive (no matter what operating system), will make you lose your data.
...and the 404 message is NOT due to anything more than your internet being down, or the website not being available. Also, you should just install virtualbox from the Fedora repositories. Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature; you should do basic research first before posting, because just putting "install virtualbox fedora 31" into Google pulls up as the *VERY FIRST HIT*:
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.c...-red-hat-rhel/

...complete instructions, along with a repository. Chances are you did NOT install Fedora, or didn't follow the instructions during installation, and your system is now booting from USB only. Restart the installation, and follow the instructions during installation. Do *NOT* install Fedora to your USB drive, but to your hard drive.

Is this ok [y/N]:

Not so sure you did as this
indicates your running from a live usb/dvd and not from fedora installed on your hard drive, henceforth looking for the information requested in post 6.

Your booting from the live usb not from the installed system.
I suspect from this Windows 10 was most likely installed in uefi mode and fedora was installed in legacy/csm mode. Did you see any errors about grub during the installation of fedora? Go into the bios and set the following: legacy/csm mode enabled, secure boot disabled, fast boot disabled. Reboot and see if you get a boot menu with the usb detached.

Have you tried a web search for how to install fedora?

There are dozens of tutorials. Here's one: https://www.wikihow.com/Install-Fedora

As has already been noted, your posts (commands shown) are from your liveuser session while booted from usb.

You almost certainly installed fedora in legacy mode as shown by this in your earlier post: The partition table is msdos and for UEFI it should be gpt.

You may need to go into the dell BIOS and make certain it is set for UEFI bios only, then repartition the drive and create a gpt partition table.
You will also have to create an EFI partition to support UEFI booting.
The partitions show as OK except for the missing EFI partition and the msdos partition table type.

I am reasonably sure windows 10 was installed as UEFI but the bios and/or maybe the way you created the install usb caused fedora to be installed in legacy mode with MBR instead of UEFI.

Hope this helps
