Create a dualboot system by repartitioning an existing hard drive
Hi,
I was following;
Dualboot on lvm with luks
http://superuser.com/questions/39271...-lvm-with-luks
to create a dualboot system on the running hard drive and to install Fedora 17 on the unused space. There is plenty of unused space on the hard drive. Only the OS, Ubuntu 12.04, is running.
Hard drive 160G
Installed OS Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, 64bit
OS to be installed Fedora 17 desktop, 64bit
Fired up the PC with Fedora-Live-USB.

/dev/sda Hard drive
/dev/sdb Fedora-Live-USB
# lvm vgchange -a y
Code:
No volume groups found
# pvdisplay
No printout
Why there are no output? Whether I should skip the lvm part and go straight to parted?
# parted /dev/sda
Please advise. TIA
B.Regards
