Installing Fedora on Hyper-V - Partition Size Limit?

[williamepa]

I am installing Fedora 10 as a virtual guest OS on hyper-v.

I am installing the OS on a brand new Virtual Hard Disk (.VHD) which has 1,024GB (1TB) assigned to it.

However, when installing Fedora on the virtual machine, it only gives me the option to select 'sda 130552 MB ATA VIRTUAL HD', i.e. 130Gb

I would like to install Fedora on a partition which can utilize all of the space i.e. 1024Gb, but i can't see how.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you partition the disk with 2008 server as NTFS?
It will probably format out to about 920GB.
When you create your VM there is usually a size box or a command line to indicate vdisk size.
That is where you may be hitting a BIOS or hyper V default limit.
You'll need to dig for thr command to indicate vdisk size. (not appearent on the M$ DOCs. Maybe it is in you installed documentation or help files?


Linux needs 4 partition to be more usable (/boot, /, /home, swap)

No, I think you misunderstood the question. Thanks though.

I got my solution at a more helpful community.
