http://askubuntu.com – I've just made a bootable usb on windows7, and now I want to replace my windows7 with Ubuntu. When I choose the option replace windows 7 with Ubuntu, I need to select a drive. Since I have only one drive in my desktop, I must use it. But on my windows the drive is partitioned into a C and D drive (both 500GB). I put all my files on the D drive, so I can still use them in Ubuntu. My intention is to install Ubuntu on the c drive from windows, but when i click on advanced partitioning tool, I see that there are four partitions: sda1(ntfs): 14.7 GB, sda2(ntfs): 104.9 MB, sda3(ntfs): 492.7 GB, sd (HowTos)

Stories similar to four partitions on window7

Hey I am trying to put Windows 7 on my linux machine running Ubuntu 11.04. I formatted my spare drive (1TB) to NTFS with two partitions of 500 GB each. When I ran the Installation CD and went to select a drive to install it to. I received an error message saying that the setup could not detect any NTFS formatted drives. Not sure why this is because there is one.

I have installed and working Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. I discovered that I do not need all this space that I have assigned to my D:/ drive in Windows and now would like to include it as a partition in Ubuntu.

A friend told me that if I have first installed Windows and then Ubuntu, then the order of the disks does not favor such a move and that I must just format it and auto-mount it in Ubuntu.

Alright, I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my PC which used to have win 7 on my SSD. However SSD(ocz) was defective so I took it out and it's in the process of being replaced. So I decided to install Ubuntu on my 2 TB(ata? drive) which was named Trinity via my previous windows installation. I have about 370 GB worth of valuable data on it so I have no desire to format the entire drive.

Lost files on NTFS partition 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hi, I'm new to fedora but not completly new to linux.

Now i wanted to copy some folders _from_ my NTFS partitioned drive to a folder in a XFS partitioned on another drive. I marked them and clicked with the mouse and dragged the icons to the folder in the other drive.

Nothing -seeable- happens.

I am trying to install ubuntu on a pc already running windows7 os. I have got 3 volumes on my hard disk. 1st C drive is where windows is installed, second drive A is where I want to install ubuntu and 3rd is used for backup. When I run installation from my USB it gives my options 1.

I had FOUR NTFS partitions on my drive. One on which Windows 7 was installed (C Drive) and the other contained my data (D Drive) (E Drive) (F drive) .

During Ubuntu installation I chose to install Ubuntu and erase my existing OS. When Ubuntu was installed, I was shocked to see no partition. All my data was gone.

I've been running Windows 7 and FC16 for over a year without a problem.

sda1 is a corporate image that helps reinstall Windows sda2 is Windows 7 C drive sda3 is Windows 7 D drive sda5 is FC16 sda6 is Swap sda7 is an NTFS filesystem

My C drive under Windows 7 filled up and there wasn't enough extraneous stuff I could delete any more, so I was faced with re-partitioning the drive.

I want to know is there any possible (and simple) way to delete my Windows partitions and extend my Ubuntu partitions.

I have 1 HDD 700 GB:

sda1 primary 100MB NTFS (Windows boot partition) sda2 primary 100GB NTFS (Windows 7 OS) sda3 primary 500GB NTFS (Windows data files) sda4 extended partition 98GB: sda6 ext4 94GB (Ubuntu 12.04) sda5 swap 4GB

My actual boot partition is sda1

Hello All I have an external 1TB NTFS drive in a case which I seldom use. I have an HP Widows 7 with a 500GB drive which is about 65% filled. I was going to clone the old 500GB to the new 1TB drive, install it into the HP. and install Ubuntu 13.04 as a Dual Boot. Here's my question: 1.
