I had a Windows 7 PC, with three partitions on it:
The default Windows partition (~300GB in size, primary)
Some system stuff Windows 7 needs (100MB in size, primary)
A partition called Shared, that I saved all my media and data to (487.5GB in size, logical).
I wanted to dual boot Debian 6 (for programming) and Windows 7 (for video games).
I have intended for the Shared partition to be used bo
I need a dual boot in my computer, Windows 7 and Fedora 17.
I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Fedora 16. On my Windows side I had 4 NTFS partitions - C, D, E, F. On Fedora 16 side it had a single ext2 partition. Now since I was out of space in C partition of windows so I decided to delete the F partition and extend the C partition. I used windows partition tool for this purpose. But when I rebooted I got the grub prompt screen.
I have 250Gb drive on a laptop, which has Windows 7 on a 122Gb ntfs partition (which has a "boot" flag on it) and Ubuntu 12.04.1 on a 110Gb extended partition, of which the root ext4 partition is 108Gb and the swap is 1.74Gb. You can see everything in the screenshot below.
I first noticed an issue when trying to install Linux Mint 14 as a third OS alongside Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7 - I was unable to create another partition to install Mint to.
Poking around, I realised that I had reached the limit of primary partitions: (from left to right of the table) 1) a ~100 MB primary partition that I meant to use for storing Grub files but never got down to, 2) a 25 GB ext
Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop already running windows, but I just realized that a hard drive can only have 4 primary partitions (noob errors). I have a 500gb hard drive. The four partitions are the following: 1 Windows partition (450gb) with 300gb unused, a System partition from windows thats about 200mb, a 13gb partition labeled RECOVERY, and a 100mb partition labeled HP_TOOLS.
The root partition of my 12.10 Kubuntu distro is full and I don't really understand why, since fileflight shows that 72% of the disk space usage of my root partition is being used by the "home/"My account name"" folder, wich should be in a different partition.
I have a Kubuntu distro 12.10 , installed along with Windows 7 dual boot.
I'm interested in changing from Ubuntu to Debian. I currently have 12.04LTS installed on its own boot partition which is separate from the /home partition.
I would simply wipe the Ubuntu partition and install Debian and modify the fstab file to mount my home and swap partitions.
What types of problems would I come across? Which would be a better choice the testing or unstable branch?
Here is what my partition looked like yesterday morning:
[100 mb system partition] [499.9 gb partition for Windows 8]
I ran disk manager and reduced the Windows 8 partition.
