YES, you can install to a ntfs hdd but NO, it will not remain ntfs after installation where Fedora is installed.

fedora 11 is ext4 by default. fedora 10 is ext3. you can still choose which one you prefer, though i'd go for ext3.

to clarify, you are NOT installing fedora to an NTFS partition/hdd. you're installing on a free space, just like any other OSes. so i doesn't matter what the previous format is.

install fedora in ntfs format you mean?

of course not, no way you can achieve that. Like what zeroglyph said, you can use ext3/ext4 as ur fedora filesystem.

Ext3 and Ext4: Which file system to install?
Disclaimer:- This thread only issues the use of Ext4 on Ubuntu Jaunty(9.04) and does not apply to earlier releases where Ext4 may not have been available as an option due to Ext4 not having been stable.

As you may have noticed, you now have the option of installing Ext4 through Ubuntu Jaunty. Ext4 is quite a big update from Ext3 but it still is only incremental and is backwards-compatible with Ext3, so it is very stable, however a few issues about the filesystem have recently sprung up that may require you to be a little careful when using this filesystem.

Reasons to stick to Ext3:-

1) Ext3 is the default file system for *buntus.

2) It is very stable, so no worries about losing your data due to crashes.

3) The one that is recommended to be on your work stations.


The issues with Ext4:-

1) There have been reports of crashes having corrupted configuration files and sometimes more with Ext4 in use.

2) This has been addressed in kernel 2.6.30, however it will not hit Ubuntu Jaunty, but Ubuntu Karmic.

3) 9.04 Release Notes: Other Known Issues for more detail.

Therefore, while Ext4 is really good, it still does need a few bugs to be ironed out, but all in all, it is quite stable for the average desktop user, just as long as you take regular backups, as you would when using any file system.

And just one more thing, Ext4 is not to be blamed completely, part of the problem stems from programs which fail to adhere to the standard regarding I/O on disk.

More information regarding this matter can be obtained here:
