+      	  The Hard Drive Installation Method is a specialized method of installation where the 
+      	  installation media exists on the hard drive of the machine to be installed.  You may

+      	  file system. In Fedora, vfat includes a range of file systems, such as FAT-16 and 
+      	  FAT-32, found on most removable media. External hard drives usually contain vfat
