(ubuntu 12.10 on HP DV7 i5 with 8GB memory)
Yesterday I decided to delete my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition, and create my Ext4, since my exposure to my Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.
This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.
Hello,
I have an extended 52-gigs partition that I can't seem to see from Linux, I can't mount it, delete it nor format it. How can I reclaim that drive back, I want the space.
I manually installed my system from the live Ubuntu DVD.
As I mentioned before, I'm using now a normal Ubuntu 11.10.
This drive has been like this for a long time, but I've been very lazy to fix the problem when it happened.

Hi,
Firstly apologies I'm a complete beginner.
History
Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu with an extra FAT 32 partition but I have chosed its mount point to be /windows
and yesterday I have booted my pc with Active@ boot disk and formatted the partition to NTFS.
I am a former Windows user who has migrated to Linux (read Ubuntu) full time. Though in my PC I have kept the Windows partitions intact, I have bought a new Laptop whose hard disk I want to partition.
