I just tried to install F24 and everything went smoothly but after reboot I just get "No bootable devices found".
I've been using Linux as my primary machine since kernel 2.0.35 and my instinct tells me this looks like the bootloader wasn't installed correctly.
Is this a known problem?
When I "reclaimed" space my drive looked something like the following:
sda1 Dell Utiility sda2 Windows Recovery sda3 Windows OS
So I deleted Windows and reclaimed but I want to leave the Dell utility and Windows recovery partition.
So how do I install the bootloader in F24 so that it boots sda3?
Is grub still being used?
It's been ~5 years since I last installed Linux so I'm not familiar with the latest tool chain.

Not usually.

This all looks fine. How large is sda3, and how far from the start of the disk. If using bios boot, the boot partition has restrictions on its location.
So how do I install the bootloader in F24 so that it boots sda3?

It's now grub2.

I think if this is a recent version of windows that you will need to use UEFI to boot, though I'm not very familiar with it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/Multiboot_Guide/BOOT-BIO... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html-single/UEFI_Secure_Boot_...
If you are using a bios boot, you need to install the grub2 bootloader on the disk for the bios to find. I think the command is
grub2-install /dev/sda
in your case. You would have to boot a rescue image somehow to do that. But, the fedora installer, anaconda, should have taken care of all of this. How did you install?
