install linux along with with issuing the following error
dear
when i install the Linux along with window , in the installation process when i reached the disk partition , it show me the following error ,
the partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a s separate partition for boot loader code, this partition should be marked for use as a " reserved bios boot area" and should be at least 1 MB in size , note that this is not the same as a partition mounted on /boot
if you do not go back to the partitioning menu and correct the error, boot loader installation may fail later, although it may possible to install the boot loader to a partition
although i install the Linux but doses not show me the load of window and Linux table,
so please give me same hints to solve my problem thnks
Sounds like you go back to no partitions on your disk (if that's possible) and then start
partition 1: reserved bios area 1 Meg at least
2: Boot - 1G or more
3: Swap: size of ram or more
4: etc..
Most folks working at home use a / (root) partition, and a /home partition at least. Servers need more thought, as things like /tmp & var can fill up mightily.
Congratulations! You have a modern gpt drive, not an old-fashioned mbr one. The problem is that the GRUB bootloader consists of two files because it's too big to fit into one. With an mbr disk, the first part of GRUB goes in the master boot record and the second part in the gap between the mbr and the first partition. But a gpt disk doesn't have that gap. So you need to create (for example with gparted) a small first partition of the type called "BIOS boot" for the second part of GRUB to go into. Then your install will work.
Additionally, if you do a Legacy/GPT install with whichever Linux system you have, it is extremely unlikely that you will be aable to boot windows if windows is EFI. You will then need to access the BIOS to reboot to the other OS.
You might indicate which version of windows you have. If it is 10, it is almost certainly and EFI install so you might be better off installing your Linux system EFI also. Are you able to boot windows or Linux? If you can boot Linux, running the following command as root user from Linux will provide some useful info. If you can't boot the installed Linux, boot from the install media and run the command the install media:
Quote:
parted -l
That's a lower case letter L in the command. You could post that info here.
pls send me complete process. how to partition disk ,
That's not the attitude! And you won't learn anything either by blindly following instructions. Here is the parted user's manual. Study it and it will tell you what you need to know about partitions and partitioning, not just for this job but for the future too.
