I'm curious how you installed it in the first place, then?
home user:
That was about 11 years ago, so my memory of that is foggy and
incomplete.
I installed windows-7 first, probably from a CD purchased from a
local (near Washington, D.C) store.
Then using either a CD burned by a co-worker who was a sys. admin.
(most likely), or a CD that came with a thick paperback introductory
sys. admin. book, or a CD that I burned from windows, I installed
Fedora. It took a few tries. Then one day the installation process
just worked (seemingly like magic). That's all that I recall.
You can run live versions from a disc. Does the computer only have a
CD drive, or does it have a DVD? CD-only would make it hard.
I have one cd/dvd drive. It's slow and, hmmmm, "touchy". I still use it for some back-ups. Based on what others have said in this thread, I prefer to not try any re-partitioning or installing. It's too risky for me.
