Is your current Linux drive partition structure not fulfilling storage requirements? Do you need to repartition your Linux disk? Linux enables you to do this using 'sfdisk' command-line utility. This tool has four uses: list hard drive partitions, size of particular partition, check partitions on hard disk, and repartition the drive
I have a dual boot system Vista and Ubuntu.
Modern computers allow you to install two or more operating systems on a single hard disk. This configuration is known as ‘Multi-Boot’. Every operating system, such as Linux, employs one or more hard drive partitions. The way in which hard drive partitions and data is arranged, is known as hard drive geometry.
Hello,
Although I am very familiar with partitioning regular desktop installations, using separate partitions for swap, root, and home... plus multi-boot machines where some partitions need to be extended partitions, I have never partitioned a hard drive for a server.
I want to give this my best shot up front, as it's something worth doing right up front...
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.
Recently i was preparing for a reformat of my computer as i do every now and then to keep the computer running well and... well it's sometimes a little fun to start from the start again.
This time i had a problem. I was backing my important files up to a 1TB hard drive.
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.
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?
Hey there! Ok, here is basically a quick rundown of my situation:
Lets say I have two physical hard drives: drive 1 and drive 2. Drive one has two partitions, each with an OS on it. Lets say I make an image of sda2 (which has windows 7 on it) and save it for later. Not a full disk image, just a partition image.
Ok, so now I have a partition image of sda2 from hard drive #1.
