The minimum space required to install CentOS 7 is 10 gigabytes[1], although you certainly will want more. Windows 7 is going to need more space, but with 2TB, you?re could easily just split it down the middle and have plenty left over. I would suggest a separate /home partition, to make upgrading easier (see other threads[2] on this list). If you plan on running a service on the system, a separate partition for that data might also be prudent. Also, you appear to have a broken keyboard. I suggest checking whether any of your punctuation keypresses are generating characters. 1. http://wiki.centos.org/About/Product 2. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2015-June/thread.html#152717 -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

I won't go into how to use gparted, it's not hard, so you can surely figure it out (I did!:) 5. boot windows and let it do its thing with "repairing" the disk. 6. run your Centos installer, being sure NOT to let it mess with your windows partition(s). 7. see my other note about how to get it to dual boot with windows. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
