I had the idea to dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu and what I did was the following:
Made a clean install of win 7 using all of my hard drive, next I used the ubuntu live cd and gparted to partition my drive to be the following:
/dev/sda1 ext4 20GB (Linux root)
/dev/sda2 ntfs 100GB(Win7)
/dev/sda3 ext4 350GB(Home)
/dev/sda4 extended 4GB(swap)
The thing is, when installing ubuntu I deleted the partiti
My partition scheme is as follows:
/dev/sda1 - Some NTFS partition for Lenovo recovery or something labeled SYSTEM_DRV (this has the Windows boot flag on it)
/dev/sda2 - My NTFS Windows partition
/dev/sda3 - My extended partition containg:
/dev/sda5 - / partition, ext4, ~20 gigs
/dev/sda6 - swap partition, linux-swap, ~3 gigs
/dev/sda7 - /home, ext4, ~450 gigs
/dev/sda4 - Another partition tha
I want to know is there any possible (and simple) way to delete my Windows partitions and extend my Ubuntu partitions.
I have 1 HDD 700 GB:
sda1 primary 100MB NTFS (Windows boot partition)
sda2 primary 100GB NTFS (Windows 7 OS)
sda3 primary 500GB NTFS (Windows data files)
sda4 extended partition 98GB:
sda6 ext4 94GB (Ubuntu 12.04)
sda5 swap 4GB
My actual boot partition is sda1
I want do dele
I have the following partition structure
`/dev/loop0 squashfs
/dev/sda1 system reserved ( ntfs )
/dev/sda2 ntfs ( windows partition )
/dev/sda3 ntfs
/dev/sda5 ntfs
/dev/sda6 ext4`
I have Ubuntu installed inside windows. I formatted /dev/sda6 from inside Ubuntu ( using Gparted ). What I totally forgot was /dev/sda6 had Fedora which was the root directory of GRUB.
I am ready to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a Samsung NC110 netbook, but reading other posts leaves me with a few concerns.
Here is my current Partition table.
Partition File System Label Size Flags
/dev/sda1 NTFS SYSTEM 100MB boot
/dev/sda2 NTFS WIN7 (C) 67GB
unallocated 5MB
/dev/sda4 extended 147GB lba
/dev/sda5 NTFS Data
/dev/sda6 linux-swap 4GB
/dev/sd
Hello i just installed Fedora 17 today.
I want to use dual boot with win7 but after the installation only fedora was shown in grub bootloader.
i tryed grub2-mkconfig. Doesnt helped.
I have 2 NTFS Partitions.
I have installed ubuntu 12.04 on my Thinkpad Edge (UEFI) using an USB-Stick.
Shown on GParted:
/dev/sda1 NTFS XP
/dev/sda2 extended
/dev/sda5 ext3
unallocated
/dev/sda6 linux-swap
I removed a partition without thinking I would have boot problems
It was Ubuntu 10.10 on /dev/sda7 which probably had grub2 on it.
Would like get back to dual boot. Both sda1 and sda 5 should be OK and not corrupted.
i use windows MBR to syslinux to openbox ( i don't trust syslinux or grub as a booting option as they have repeatedly crashed my entire windows installation)my boot is sda3 (primary 100mb) no boot flag set (boot is set on my sda2 win7 partition)swap is sda5 mkswap/swapon cfdisk 1024MB (never exceeds 2MB in my case)and root is logical sda6 (remaining freespace) mkfs.ext4i partition in windows
