I wanna partition more space for Ubuntu! (dual booting w/ Windows 7)

http://askubuntu.com – So, I bought this computer recently, and immediately dual-booted Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with it. The other day, unfortunately, I ran out of the mere 20 or so gigs alloted to me (out of about 700). I'd like to repartition more space, but I'm running into a bit of trouble. I found this instruction: How do I remove windows but keep Ubuntu? but ran into problems when it came to booting from the flash. It's just not recognizing the flash in my boot menu. I know that the flash works, I should add, because my girlfriend just used it twice for both of her machines. I'm sure that it's now obvious that I am (HowTos)

I just installed ubuntu to my new lenovo thinkpad so it could dual boot with windows 7. I downloaded the iso file from ubuntu and put it onto a flash drive. I restarted my computer, booted from the flash drive and got the standard options (1. try ubuntu 2. install ubuntu 3. check for disc problems). I went ahead and installed it onto my computer, choosing to install with another operating system.

Hello all,

I am dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T410. The computer is new but it is my fourth dual-boot project. First time doing it with 7 though.

Hello everyone,

I am completely new to linux, and thus far my experience with linux has been booting ubuntu 12.04 from a flash drive to play around with. I would eventually like to dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 alongside windows 7.

I have a Sony Vaio E series SVE15115FXS model laptop. The computer comes with 3 partitions loaded: 1. Recovery Partition 2. System Reserved Partition 3.

Good day to everyone. I hope someone can help me with my problem.

I have a dual boot Windows and Ubuntu system.

I recently encountered an hd0 out of disk error and wasn't able to boot Ubuntu.

Okay, so I'm relatively new to Ubuntu. I've searched and found solutions related to my problem but none that have so far directly worked.

After figuring out how to free up space to make a partition on my computer in order to install Ubuntu 11.10 side-by-side with Windows and installing it, and rebooting my computer, I found myself staring at the Ubuntu login.

i just installed ubuntu 11.04 onto this netbook. I had to use a flash key . during the install , i tried putting ubuntu on a separate partition , but it kept showing a 'no root file system is defined'. i didn't really know what i could do to fix it , so i decided to install it alongside windows. i have a windows 7 installation which works perfectly fine.

I have Sony Vaio F11 series with Crucial m4 (128GB) SSD. Earlier I had Windows 7 which is upgraded in Windows 8 recently(RTM edition). Windows had 2 partitions 103 GB and 17GB. Last week I Installed Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit) on 17GB partition with 1GB as swap space.

I have windows 7 SP1 installed on my machine that uses guid gpt partition instead of the old MBR. When I try dual booting ubuntu with it, Ubuntu doesn't recognize the operating system - basically it sees all of my hdd space as unallocated.

How can I dual boot ubuntu with windows 7 keeping the guid gpt partition ?

Hey guys, I have moderate amounts of computer savvy-ness but a couple of my friends that are better at computers than I helped me dual partition my hard drive with ubuntu and windows 7. The computer came with win 7 and the ubuntu boot went fine. I know it's still partitioned right because my hard drive space is still split but when I start up my computer I'm given no option to boot unbuntu.
