написал(а): I'm trying to install Leap 42.1 on a new Windows 7 laptop. The Yast installer (from verified DVD) will only give me the option of wiping the hard drive and installing Linux without Windows. I'm wondering if there is any way to keep Windows, and dual boot with Linux. Previous installations have always given me that option.
Win 7, UEFI, 500 Gig hard drive. Original partitions: System_drv 200 mb, ntfs Windows7_OS, 428.18 gb ntfs Lenovo_D, 25gb ntfs (unlabelled OEM partition) 12.38 Gb
That cannot be UEFI, ESP is missing. And if it is not UEFI, and it is Windows, it is MBR which means you probably are out of primary partitions as was already mentioned. There is no way to fix it without either deleting one of existing partitions (they likely cannot be logical, and I won't be surprised if their numbers are hardcoded, at least recovery and OEM) or moving Windows to logical partition. How to do it is best asked on Windows forums. As you won't be able to use recovery partition without wiping your Linux anyway, I'd chose it for removing.
When the initial installation attempt failed to give me the option of keeping Windows, I shrank the Windows 7 partition using the Windows disk partioner, so that the Win 7 partition is 214.64 gb, and 213.54 gb is unallocated. The linux installer will not use the unallocated space.
I get the same result trying to install 13.2.
Installation proceeds normally, until the partition proposal, where I abort.
Machine is Lenovo, dualcore i3, 1.7 ghz, 4 gb memory.
Is it possible to install a dual boot on this machine?
Thanks for your help!
