Hi I am running windows 7 professional and the lastest centos7 x86 now if I wish to partition the hard since I have 2TB harddrive what volume would I need to set that at many thanks mike
windows 7 defaults to creating a partition on the entire disk and leaving no free unpartitioned space. that leaves you with nowhere to install anything else.
that's not hard to fix with the gparted live CD.
- boot windows, defrag the partition(s).
- shut down windows.
- boot gparted live
- in my experience the "main" windows partition is nearest the end, so using gparted, shrink it enough to leave adequate space for Centos. I won't go into how to use gparted, it's not hard, so you can surely figure it out (I did!:)
- boot windows and let it do its thing with "repairing" the disk.
- run your Centos installer, being sure NOT to let it mess with your windows partition(s).
- see my other note about how to get it to dual boot with windows.
