It's weird this happens but maybe someone with more experience can help you. BTW, what hardware do you have?

Fedora cannot detect my hard drive because I am boot the live install from my hard drive, how do I overide this

Dude, don't

did you dd it to the drive?

then you are fucked.

did you dd it to the drive?

no I dd it to a partition, then I simply select and boot

Because if you did - you killed your partitioning, ananconda would need to make a new one - overriding the booted image in the process

no I dd it to a partition, then I simply select and boot

you still killed the partitioning

you still killed the partitioning

what do I do now

Now I understand....

what do I do now

get an usb drive.

Dont boot it from where you want to install it.

dont.

heck you can use a cd

or a 1gb usb stick, everyone has one laying around

heck you can use a cd

is there anyway to bypass this

is there anyway to bypass this

a usb stick

anything external that you can plug into your pc

a usb stick

if it were that easy, I wouldnt be here. Also I messed up the mbr so I cannot shut it down

Why don't you just use a live image again and do fresh install overriding everything again.

?

Just delete all your partitions and start over installing Fedora with root, home and swap separated partitions. Everything from live.

The laptop I want to install fedora is messed up, no usb ports work, not even the dvd works. All I have is the hard drive to use

This is difficult situation

what di you mean "no usb ports work"/

can you do "lsusb" before and after you plugged in a stick?

Do you have a USB to SATA lying around ?

what di you mean "no usb ports work"/

None of them work, they just died out a month ago.

You are pretty much ducked

can you do "lsusb" before and after you plugged in a stick?

Yes and nothing registers

you can do one thing: network (PXE) boot

you need a second machine and a lan cable

You are pretty much ducked

I could try installing it using livecd iso to usb with usb but redirect to /dev/sda3, would it work?

no

there is no such redirect and it still would be very likely to not work

does the machine support PXE boot?

that is your best(only) chance

you can do one thing: network (PXE) boot

the laptop cannot last 30secs in boot state, I either have to go straight into hard drive

it does not need to

or it just completely shut down

it does not need to

how do I do this, then?

the steps are the same across 99% of distros

Thanks, the booting problem on this pc is so bad I coudnt consider it

Problem is you need access to a working second pc with a playground linux to duck with

but a pc where usb is dead i'd throw away so...

what about kickstart? could it help

Aslong as you boot from your hdd, no.

At that Age i would'nt consider it worthwhile even as cheapass server

Aslong as you boot from your hdd, no.

why wouldnt it install to self? windows supports that, why not linux?

why wouldnt it install to self? windows supports that, why not linux?

If you get windows to boot from the same hdd it installs on after being written from a dvd image to a partition on the single and same hdd the installer is booted from you get a cookie

Fedora of course supports automated installs. But this is done via exactly this pxe way in most cases or via usb.

And certainly not made to automate predelivering hdds that clean install themselves on booting from them

Can I install fedora like arch linux?

Jes.

I think

It still shouldn't work really as you dorked your partitions.

so how do I do it? The partitions seems fine, creating new ones works, so I dont get it

Network boot. Anaconda does not accept a newly created partition?

Anaconda does not even see my hard drive, I googled around and it seems to be a problem to some

do these "some" mainly include people with ducked MBR?

I could bet you, that by this time tomorrow, I would have arch linux installed in and working fine

Go ahead. Install Ubuntu and/or Arch and then come back here and share pictures of your brand new system working after the install. I'm really interested to see that.

welcome! (:

I just want to share with you all that https://web.skype.com/ is usable without needing to install anything on your computer. I was able to attend to a Skype meeting without issues. Avoid using the Voice call option, only Vido call works, as a side note you don't need to have a webcam. BTW I was using Google Chrome, not sure if it works with Firefox.
