So it’s been couple months that i’m trying to dual boot Win 11/Fedora, i could use only Fedora but i need Win 11 for my work, I did many many readings and research to fix my problem with it, i still yet to find one that would work for my case, i gave up on it, and i would like to give it another chance so here are some specs of my laptop and everything i did :
Asus TUF 17 ( 32 Go RAM, 6 To nvme ( 4 to in 1 disc and 2 To in another) BIOS mode : UEFI
I created an empty space using windows disk partition and allocated 1.5 To for Fedora
I created bootable usb for Fedora using rufus and Balena etcher ( i thought maybe the issue from rufus but it was not)
As you can see, it actually detect the empty partition but i can’t anything on it, i tried automatic partition, i get the storage error, i also tried custom partition, when i click done, i get error message saying partition failed.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue please?
I tried it, but it won’t create partition, i will just get an error message down the page which says partition failed
I tried all options there, from automatic customs and the third type of partitionning which i forgot its name but nothinbg worked, i always get the same error over and over
From this error message it says you need to have an /boot/efi partition. That is where the kernel wil go during install and this fails because of it. So I assume these screenshots are from when you tried to create the scheme manually.
I still kept secure boot disabled and bitlocker disabled, i tried to create live USB using both rufus ( GPT partition scheme) and balenaEtcher app still the same message.
I forgot to mention that I installed Win 11 from a recovery usb, so the Win 11 i currently have is the original from factory, i don’t know if this matter or not
You do not need to disable secure boot. The rpmfusion nvidia guide explains how to add your only signing key to the EFI so that the drivers load.
You do not need to disable bitlocker, BUT you will need the recovery key as you will be asked to enter if after Fedora is installed and you boot via grub.
What is not clear is exactly what the disk setup you have is.
Please boot the Fedora USB and from a terminal run lsblk -f.
Can copy that output off to another system so that you can post it as text, but as a screen shot?
Use the </> preformated text option to do that.
You doing something wrong.Just once you select your 3.64 TiB you have available space 1.43 TiB use + button left bottom button to add a new mount point .You can select from dropdown arrow and need to press ‘add mount point’ You do that 4 times for /boot/efi , boot , / and /home. After you do that Done on top left blue button and accept changes .It should go to install.
Can you try something else like ubuntu/opensuse tumble weed and give it a try. Ubuntu use a different installer which is a brand new installer I hope that won’t make any issue is that doesn’t make any issue and you have installed that successfully you could simply to install Fedora or silver blue on the same partition that used to be Ubuntu.use lts ubuntu.
Opensuse use yast @jedchado
@ersen@ledeni@computersavvy@barryascott@frankjunior@hamrheadcorvette Just a small update, i tried everything possible and everything you suggested, but unfortunately nothing worked for me, it’s always the same error, i couldn’t even install Ubuntu , i also got error message when trying that, so i decided to use my second drive and give it a try and it worked, i was able to install Fedora in my second drive and it is working fine, so i guess it was a partition issue, thank you guys for taking time to help, i appreicate it
You were installing on the same drive as windows 11 which mandates TPM before it can be installed.
I wonder if the TPM module itself prevented the installation?
You would have to test that theory by disabling TPM in the bios (which windows 11 apparently allows once it has been installed) then try the installation again while TPM was disabled.
Interesting. . . I was thinking of some of the things Asus and Microsoft did with certain Devices (Windows 10S type and some strange Asus devices with UEFI level locks.)
At least on the dell laptops I setup for dual boot this was not the case.
If bitlocker is used isn’t the TPM used to unlock the disk?
It seems unlikely to me that TPM was the problem.
but nothinbg worked, i always get the same error over and over
