Hello I tried to install fedora on 25GB of spare disk space and ran into a few issues.
My partition table now looks like this
Notes
sda5 swap space for ubuntu
sda6 ubutu
sda7 fedora (either this or sda8 doesn't boot)
sda8 fedora (see sda7)
sda9 I was trying to install fedora here but it didn't.
Things I did
1)Before installing fedora I used gparted to move 25GB of spare disk space to within the extended partition.
2)When trying to install fedora for the first time it booted back into the desktop without the install completing, tried again and it worked but says I'm only using 500mb(on either sda/7 or sda/8) for the install.
3)No swap space was created(is this a problem when using hibernation).
4)Fedora reinstalled grub, I'm able to boot into fedora/ubuntu but now I get an error before grub loads dont know what it says as it moves past too fast.
Help would be much appreciated
TIA
