hi, i'm new to linux, i installed fedora 12 first. These are my partitions
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 192 1536000 27 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 192 23689 188743680 7 HPFS/NTFS
Shown on GParted:
/dev/sda1 NTFS XP
/dev/sda2 extended
/dev/sda5 ext3
unallocated
/dev/sda6 linux-swap
I removed a partition without thinking I would have boot problems
It was Ubuntu 10.10 on /dev/sda7 which probably had grub2 on it.
Would like get back to dual boot. Both sda1 and sda 5 should be OK and not corrupted.
I am ready to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a Samsung NC110 netbook, but reading other posts leaves me with a few concerns.
Here is my current Partition table.
Partition File System Label Size Flags
/dev/sda1 NTFS SYSTEM 100MB boot
/dev/sda2 NTFS WIN7 (C) 67GB
unallocated 5MB
/dev/sda4 extended 147GB lba
/dev/sda5 NTFS Data
/dev/sda6 linux-swap 4GB
/dev/sd
Hello,
First I'd like to say that I've done a lot of search before asking this question. And even if I found some infomations, my question remains.
So here is the situation
A disk with Win7 and Ubuntu in dual boot, but not with grub2.
Hi all,
I used to have a partition table like this (according to fdisk)
/dev/sda1 * 1 7649 61440561 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 7650 38913 251128080 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 7650 11473 30716248+ b W95 FAT32
I have the following partition structure
`/dev/loop0 squashfs
/dev/sda1 system reserved ( ntfs )
/dev/sda2 ntfs ( windows partition )
/dev/sda3 ntfs
/dev/sda5 ntfs
/dev/sda6 ext4`
I have Ubuntu installed inside windows. I formatted /dev/sda6 from inside Ubuntu ( using Gparted ). What I totally forgot was /dev/sda6 had Fedora which was the root directory of GRUB.
Can anyone tell me how to delete ubuntu from a linux / windows dual boot system without harming windows?
I ran the sudo fdisk /dev/sda command in a linux terminal and got the following output:
/dev/sda1 - system
/dev/sda2 - Compaq diagnostics
/dev/sda3 - HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda5 - W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda6 - Linux
/dev/sda7 - Linux swap / solaris
From my online searches, I know how to delete
Hi,
I have Windows and Pclinuxos on my machine. I get the option of selecting either when I boot up. I now want to add Mandriva One, giving me three choices.
I've created a new partition for Mandriva and the table now looks like this:
/dev/sda1 ntfs boot
/dev/sda2 extended
/dev/sda5 linux-swap
I have an ext4 and an ntfs partition, and what I want to do is shrink the ext4 partition a bit and grow the ntfs accordingly. The ext4 partition is on /dev/sda6 and the ntfs one is /dev/sda7. I was able to shrink /dev/sda6 just fine, but in growing /dev/sda7, something went terribly wrong. There now seems to be a conflict in fdisk and what the kernel sees.
