I have the following configuration:
sda1 1 GB maybe fat32 (windows recovery partition)
sda2 40 GB ntfs(windows drive c) with boot flag
sda3 around 100GB ntfs(storage partition)
sda4 extended partition:sda5 10 GB ext4 partition
sda6 1 GB linux swap
I want to make this changes:
sda2 30 GB resize(decrease size with 10 GB)
sda3 around 100GB(move and maybe decrease size with 4-5 GB)
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
I want do dele
I made a miscalculation on my Ubuntu install and now need more space for my Windows (NTFS) partition (sda2). The problem is that I allocated ~ 100GiB to what I thought would be a shared media storage directory; this was placed in an extended partition (sda4), comprised of ~ 7GiB in a swap file (sda5) and ~ 100GiB in an ext4 storage partition (sda6), respectively.
I had the idea to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu and what I did was the following:
Made a clean install of win 7 using all of my hard drive, next I used the ubuntu live cd and gparted to partition my drive to be the following:
/dev/sda1 ext4 20GB (Linux root)
/dev/sda2 ntfs 100GB(Win7)
/dev/sda3 ext4 350GB(Home)
/dev/sda4 extended 4GB(swap)
The thing is, when installing ubuntu I deleted the partiti
Whenever I select Windows 7 under GRUB, it just hangs at a flashing underscore
windows 7 is installed under my first primary partition, what should the GRUB section look like for it?
I can't check what mine looked like because this happened:
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.
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.
So my computer has the following partitions:
/dev/sda -- (I know this isn't a real partition, but more so the boot loader)
/dev/sda1 -- (Windows 7 Boot Loader)
/dev/sda3 -- (Windows 7)
/dev/sda4 -- (Data partition, NTFS)
that means i have
/dev/sda2 as free space.
I do not want to change the MBR of the computer. I would like /dev/sda2 to contain GRUB AND Ubuntu.
How can I create another partition (to e.g. parallel install a different ubuntu version) with this current partitioning table?
