Fedora 15 "Fixed Disk" size not working

Post by TallMonke »

I have installed Fedora 15 x86_64 as a guest on Windows 7 (host) multiple times. Each installation, regardless of the disk size I enter or whether it is fixed or dynamic size, Fedora does not recognize half of the available disk space.

For instance:
1) Dynamic Disk, 8GB in size - Fedora only sees 3.7 GB, will not let me install any software once reaching the 3.7GB mark, insufficient disk space
2) Dynamic Disk, 10GB in size - Fedora only sees 4.7GB, same result as 1
3) Fixed Disk, 10GB in size - Fedora only sees 4.7GB, again insufficient disk space at the 4.7 mark.

I have repeated this process over an over, with a clean downloaded ISO from Fedora Projects (KDE spin) and a clean install of VirtualBox.

Any suggestions?
