https://bbs.archlinux.org – You will want type 0x83.  It is the partition type for ext2, ext3 and ext4.   Extended is used as a "wrapper" to allow more than four primary partitions.  You can put several non-primary partitions in an extended partition.Here is my partition scheme:Disk identifier: 0x87b33479 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 121778159 60888056 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 597366784 625135615 13884416 83 Linux /dev/sda3 121778160 597366783 237794312 5 Extended /dev/sda5 * 121778223 (HowTos)

Hi,

Would appreciate any help with this issue, not sure how to proceed.

Today I physically smashed my boot partition (it was on a usb key).

Hey guys, I want to install Ubuntu alongside my Windows 7 OS.

Default disk partitions 14 weeks 6 days ago

When I installed Ubuntu 12.10, I installed it onto a 500 GB hard drive using the default partitioning.

Looking at the hard drive in Disks

I see the main partition (/dev/sda1 = 496 GB) and the swap partition (/dev/sda5 = 4.3 GB). I also see another partition (/dev/sda2 = 4.3 GB), which is not mounted.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Windows 7 on my computer. I would create a new logical partition, and when I run sudo fdisk -l I get:

Dispositivo Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 206848 1518526463 759159808 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 1910609

Reset partitions numbers 24 weeks 19 hours ago

I just decided to delete my Windows partition and only use Linux.

My old partition table was:

sda1: W7 boot partition sda2: W7 partition sda3: Linux sda4: start of logic partitions sda5: swap.

I deleted sda1 and sda2, and then expanded sda3.

Can't Create Partitions 44 weeks 4 days ago

I have a laptop with 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition.

I want to install linux in extended partition.

But when I custom create partitions, it says : "Couldn't allocate requested partitions, not enough free space on the disk"

I can't even create Physical Volume.

I can't remove the primary partitions, as those are for recovery and windows os.

Here's the screenshot.
