Two comments.First, many USB pen drives, thumb drives, whatever, are not partitioned. It is possible to use the entire drive rather than partitioning it. More so, that is the norm.

I had a box that was running 10.04 with 3 drives. 2X1 TB drives for storage and then 1X2 TB drive that had the OS installed on it. I got a refurbished drive that I then planned to install 12.04 on to and get rid of 10.04 and leave the larger drives just for storage. The problem is I cannot get the drive to show up when I go to install 12.04.

the problem i have is that my /home drive is overheating and dieing, so I bought a replacementthe /root is on a different physical drive for increased access speed, so root would normally work fine, but it seems disabledso how do i get into this linux to set up my replacement drives partitions, and back up the things i want to save off this drive if i cant get in?Additionally, how could I enable r
My previous question on 2008 involved moving space to C Drive on a Raid 5 setup. Now I am wondering

I recently converted my home media server from Windows Server 2008 to Ubuntu 11.10. Right now, there is a single WD20EARS 2 TB hard drive formatted as NTFS that's about to run out of space.
I'd like to purchase a few extra drives (the case can hold an additional two).
