I have a 320GB hard disk. I only use either ubuntu or kubuntu (12.04 for now). I don't want to use windows or any other dual boot os. And i need only 3 partitions on my hard disk. One for the OS and remaining two for data storage. I don't want to create swap also.
Now can i create all primary partitions on the hard disk. Are there any disadvantages in doing so.
Hi all,
First time posting after reading the forums for a long time, looking at posts from other HP-suffering would-be Ubuntu users.
I have a HP DV6 laptop with a 750GB HD, Intel i7 and 6GB RAM. I downloaded Ubuntu 64bit and started to install it on my laptop. First issue was that there are 4 primary partitions on the laptop hard disk.
I have 320 GB hard disk.
I want to create like Windows partitions like C drive for OS install.
and D,E for store other files.
I try this already. but the is partitioned as like USB flash drives.
This partitions only stored files.
But I tried to create alias for XAMPP projects from this folders. It shown forbidden errors.
So how to create partitions?
Hi, I have installed ubuntu 12.04 on a pc formally running XP. The PC has two disk drives. The first was for the operating system and the second with two partitions for my music and photos. Ubuntu does not recognise the second hard disk and Gparted shows it as unallocated. The partitions do not show up. How do allocate and mount the partitions on my second disk.
I partitioned my hard drive with two separate partitions for Windows and Ubuntu. Now I want to repartition my hard-drive and I'm not really sure on how to do it.
I found some programs and tools to handle the partitions but not any info on whether it's possible to merge the two seperated partitions again. Is there a way?
Hi,
I have two physical hard disks, one around 200GB and one 1TB. I had the large one splitted into 3 partitions around 300GB each. I used Windows XP.
Yesterday I formatted the small disk and installed Ubuntu 10.4 (trying not to mess with anything in the large disk).
Now from within Ubuntu I can see only the third partition of the large disk (referring as size 1TB).
My main workstation incorporates a mixture of ext3, ext4, and NTFS partitions scattered across a number of hard drives. Several of the ext4 partitions are encrypted, and I intend to encrypt the rest of the Linux partitions in the near future.
Hi im fairly new to linux, please dont be too hard on me.
Im using Ubuntu 11.10 in a wubi instalation.
As im using clementine tu listen to music i have in my partitions, each time i power ubuntu up clementine loses the librarys and has to rescan the partition all over again.
a similar thing happens to Transmission bitTorrent client...
Im currently having a problem when trying to setup an unattended install of windows 7. When the hard drive has no partitions the install goes fine. However if the hard drive has any existing partitions, it throws up an error message saying it can't create new partitions. So I end up having to launch a live CD and delete the partitions before doing the unattended install.
