When there is no BFS partition available, or if you want to use a differently formatted partition, you use the DriveSetup partitioning application. If the following alert pops up, it just means that no partitions with the Be File System (BFS) have been found. Click Continue to proceed to the Installer. It contains information regarding prior partition setup (as described above) and GRUB setup (as described further down in this guide).

Choose to install Haiku for this guide.īefore the Haiku Installer starts, a notice is displayed. Then you decide to either Install Haiku on a partition or Try Haiku by booting to the desktop directly from CD/USB drive. This panel (depending on your hardware it can take a while to appear) lets you set the system language and keymap. Please also consider reporting the issue at the bug tracker. If the blue Desktop doesn't appear after all the splash screen's icons have lit up, try the fail safe mode options which can be enabled by holding SHIFT before splash screen appears. You may have to enter the computer's BIOS to set the boot order.Īfter a few seconds you should see the Haiku boot splash screen, its icons lighting up one after another. Insert the Haiku Installer CD into your CD-ROM drive or pop in the prepared installation USB drive and power up your system. In some cases, it is also possible to use the Haiku Boot Manager. Whenever your disk has multiple partitions, you will also need a boot loader such as GRUB to be able to boot into Haiku (and any other systems that you may have installed in the remaining partitions). However, you may want to leave some room for 3rd party applications, so 3+ GiB is the recommended partition size. A standard 32-bit install of Haiku requires about 1.3 GiB of disk space (64-bit install is about double), so the partition doesn't need to be huge. Otherwise, you can use specialized tools like the freely available GParted LiveCD. If your current OS comes with a partitioning tool, try to use that.
