http://ubuntuforums.org – I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while and even made 10.4 my main OS. However I still need Windows for work so I placed it on another disk. On the first disk along with Ubuntu I used to have up to 15 partitions to try various distros but then I deleted all those small partitions and I have now the following layout: sda1-Suse11.4 (ext4)Primary sda2-FreeBSD (ufs)Primary sda3-Extented sda5-swap sda6-ubuntu 10.4 ext4 sda7-empty, ext2 sda8-empty, ext2 sda4-storage(fat32) Primary sdb1-windows7 32bit sdb2-Extended sdb3-swap sdb4- (Hardware)

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

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

I'm trying to set up dual-boot on my MacBook Pro, and have run into some questions. I used Disk Utility to allocate some free space for Ubuntu, and now I'm in the Ubuntu installer's partitioner.

There are already 3 partitions on my disk. One is EFI, one is for Mac OS X, and one is I think for recovery. I want to make a partition for Ubuntu and a swap partition.

I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 alongside with Windows 7.

Hello,

First I'd like to say that I've done a lot of search before asking this question. And even if I found some infomations, my question remains.

So here is the situation

A disk with Win7 and Ubuntu in dual boot, but not with grub2.

So my system is set up like this:

/dev/sda1/ Windows XP Partition /dev/sda2/ FAT32 Compaq Recovery Partition /dev/sda3/ Container for Logical Partitions sda5 and sda6 /dev/sda4/ (can't find this one in Disk Utility) /dev/sda5/ Linux file system running Lubuntu 12.04 /dev/sda6/ Linux swap space

Is there a way to just delete sda5 and sda6, boot with a Ubuntu 12.04 USB key and do a completely clean

I've got an external disk with 6 partitions: 4 for linux, one storage in HFS+, and one storage in ext4. I'd like to delete the ext4 storage one and move it's resulting unallocated space into my HFS+ one, but in GParted, I delete the ext4, and it becomes unallocated. But when I try to resize my HFS+, I can't enter a new value for "New size (MiB)", and the up arrow for it's size is disabled.

Ok I HAD a dual boot gateway laptop with windows vista on it.

partitions primary restore 10gb primary windows 100gb logical ext4 ubuntu 40gb logical swap ubuntu 7gb

I used only ubuntu because windows was probably infected.

Ubuntu needed more space. So I thought about deleting windows and expanding linux partitions. I had no hd to backup...read on to see how stupid I am...

I have the following configuration: sda1 1 GB maybe fat32 (windows recovery partition) sda2 40 GB ntfs(windows drive c) with boot flag sda3 around 100GB ntfs(storage partition) sda4 extended partition:sda5 10 GB ext4 partition sda6 1 GB linux swap I want to make this changes: sda2 30 GB resize(decrease size with 10 GB) sda3 around 100GB(move and maybe decrease size with 4-5 GB)
