From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Opera 7.23 [de] Description of problem: I was going to install Fedora V0.94 testversion. The target workstation had 4 partitions, of which two were reserved for Windows (system; data). It was a known problem, that the ext2 partition was damaged (Suse linux had been present in this partition. I used a "bootmagic" from PowerQuest corporation as the OS-selector tool. As I decided to install Fedora, Anaconda lets me select between automatic partition or hand partition (druid). I selected hand, in order to preserve current partitioning. Then, the installer said that only one partition would be present. I cancelled the installation. After inspection I found out that the computer is not bootable. Using PartitionMagic, I found out, that all the partitions are lost. I suggest that Anaconda did not recognize the individual partition, because of the damage in the ext2 partition. Later on I repeated the whole procedur: After having defined 4 partitions again with PartitionMagic, I started Anaconda again. This time, all the partitions were recognized. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. One must have a damaged ext2 partition among one or more (FAT32) partitions 2. Install Fedora, using hand partitioning 3. Actual Results: (the above is the suggestion to reproduce) Additional info:
Anaconda doesn't commit any changes to the partition table this early. And 0.94 is old... you should use either FC1 or the more current test release.
