I want to install Ubuntu 11 on my Dell Mini 9. Using ubuntu.com, I created a USB drive. I was successful in running Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. However, I could not install Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. There was a screen that had a checklist of three items on it. One of them was having enough free space on my hard disk, which I do not. The hard disk is just too small.
When I first left the Big Blue OS behind for the world of Linux, I wallowed in guesses over how my disk space was filling up. One thing that was hard to replace from my Windows XP days was the colorful pie chart of disk ingredients that resulted from right-clicking the lettered drive names. Linux offers numerous solutions for guessing at the amount of space consumed.
I was running Windows 7 on my laptop but installed Ubuntu Linux as well. While installing Ubuntu I made an error and only dedicated 17 Gigs of hard drive space to Ubuntu and the rest to Windows. I would like to split my hard drive more evenly but cannot seem to figure out how to reconfigure Ubuntu to use more than the 17 Gigs. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have on my hard drive 2 OSes: Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows Vista( I keep it just because of school). Everything was OK on both OSes,but one day on Ubuntu I was getting awkward noises from my notebooks's hard drive and then everything stops and I couldn't do anything. On Windows everything was ok.
Everytime I boot on Ubuntu I can get 5 minutes of normal run, without problems.
My laptop hard disk got crashed. But until I replace I want to do my home works. So I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on 16GB Kingston DT101 G2 pen drive.
My question is, using my pen drive as my regular disk for 1 or 2 weeks is that OK ? Will I get any problems in my pen drive? After I replace my hard disk can I use that pen drive as normal ( just assume I will use my laptop at least 12 hours per day).

I'm dual booting win7 home premium and ubuntu 12.10 32bit (the machine is 64bit, I think AMD), and if I check the C:\ drive with win7, it shows about 90 gb remaining. I'm new to ubuntu, and recently ubuntu said that only about 800 mb was left on the hard drive. How do I expand the amount of space ubuntu takes up on the hard drive so that it doesn't run out of space?
-Many thanks in advance!
My computer is a new HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t (64-bit) w/ 3rd gen quad-core i7 processor, 12 GB RAM, and 2 separate 1 TiB hard drives.
I want to keep hard disk #1 as Windows 7, and hard disk #2 I want kubuntu.
When I went through the kubuntu setup, it seemed more unintuitive than with old versions of Ubuntu to set up this scenario.
In Windows, I used the default Partition Editor to free u
Hello Group,
I'm a long time follower of Ubuntu and FOSS :D. After trying out Ubuntu (WUBI included), I'm finally ready to dual boot (need to keep windows for work related programs).
My hard drive has 2 partitions - C: (user files) & D: with Windows installed on D: (free space about 50 GB).
