Install Qubes on a specific partition ?

[octavio.m...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a 1TB usb drive which is not empty (Has around 10GB of files that I wish to keep)
I have created a partition of 100GB on this drive.

Is it possible to install Qubes only on that partition ? The Install doc does say "use the whole disk rather than a partition" but is that a best practice or will it fail all together ?

Thanks!

sorry pretty new to this google groups,
again yes its possible. you should be carefull since dual booting can comprimes security in some ways. (read the qubes docs for more info)
when installing just select the 100gb parition en select clear space and it should work. Again i would recommend to instal it on another drive if your dual booting. im planning on creating a tut, if you want it , it should be online in like a week or 2.

Yep I just realised that the ISO is actually an Installer. What I did is

1) DD'ed the ISO to a 32GB flash drive and the boot on it.

2) I plugged my 1TB usb drive

The Qubes installer starts and I see the "Destination" option

However it doesn't allow me to select my 100GB partition. The drive is there but all it says is "100Mb free" and I don't see any partition.

(I had create the partition using exFat, should it be FAT32?)

I think you need to create the partition as a "Linux" type, or just leave
it unpartitioned and use the manual step in Qubes' installer to create.
