Installation fails with PartitionException
 

Fedora 11 - Exception occures while attempting to resizing existing partitions under the Create custom layout partitioning option.

I tried to install on my Benq Joybook A53.with 120GB SATA HDD, using my existing windows partition

please help me to solve this.

thanks all

Being that Fed 11 is kinda unstable; I would use a stable distro livecd like ubuntu-8.04
to partition the disk, then install Fed 11 to pre-prepared/formatted partition.

But, what do you mean "by using my existing partition"?

Did you reformat, etc or did you do the auto-install?

there is a bug in the install cd and dvd .Some people have found that they can not change partition sizes . I would use the Gparted live cd
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
to resize the partitions first then leave the partition as UNFORMATED
then install fedora 11

No I used one of logical drives in my windows HDD. I can delete that partition without having any trouble but try to create linux partitions, it gives exception and exit the installer.

Can I use fedora 10 cd to create partition and install fedora 11 on that partitions? can you explain little bit about that?.

Thanks your help.

as far as i know the bug is in removing the OLD partitions ,in that the parted program on the f 11 dvd/cd dose not work .
i have been using Gparted to UNFORMAT the existing partitions and use the install dvd /cd to format them to ext3 ( for the boot partition only ) and ext4 for / ,and /home .

this bug only affects some hardware.
