http://askubuntu.com – I am not a computer savvy and need to know how to partition my USB drive without messing up my laptop. I already have the boot order set up properly and the USB drive already has the ISO image downloaded onto it. I am ready for install but just do not know how to partition. I am installing Ubuntu 12.4 LTS onto a USB. Can someone help me? I need an easy walk through please. (HowTos)

[all variants] Partition? 1 year 9 weeks ago

Recovering Installation 16 weeks 2 days ago

I was installing a copy of Windows Xp on a second drive on my computer and accidentally deleted the partition on my second hard drive that contained my copy of Fedora 14 ( I accidentally selected the second drive while selecting a partition to install Windows and deleted the partition - but I didn't format it or anything ). The computer will not boot from my Linux drive now.

Hi all

Trying to install Ubuntu Studio 11.04 32 bit as a dual boot alongside dowsXP on an Advent 4213 netbook from a usb stick (it has no optical drive). I resized the main partition on the netbook with partition wizard, leaving an unallocated partition on the C drive of 60Gb, intended for the ubuntu OS - this seemed to go well enough with everything intact.
