http://askubuntu.com – I have a dual boot system Vista and Ubuntu. I upgraded to 12.04 and ran out of hard drive partition space for Ubuntu. I a willing to blow away the Vista partition and the Acer recovery partition to make more space for Ubuntu since I never use the Vista and don't care about the recovery to Vista. Can I use the 12.04 live CD to repartition the hard drive and save my current 12.04 installation? Thanks in advance. (HowTos)

Hi

I'm having a problem getting grub to detect my XP partition.

Original configuration:-

Hard drive partitioned with primary partitions (Vista and Vista restore) and an extended partition for data did not want anything to do with Vista so I Installed XP in extended partition Vista boot manager offered Vista or XP All worked for years

Decided to remove Vista and dual boot with Ubuntu

So, this is my first time installing Ubuntu on my hard drive, and I'm running into some problems.

Until a couple of hours ago, I had 4 partitions in my hard drive:

XP, Vista and 7 installations, plus a data partition.

I backep up the XP and Vista partitions which weren't of any use lately, and booted a Live-USB with Ubuntu 12.04.

On the "Install 12.04 LTS" partition manager thingy I deleted

I installed ubuntu using Wubi on my laptop. It has windows vista home premium. After i installed ubuntu and started using it gave me a pop saying that my hard drive is probably failing. I dont know why this is. Can some one help me? Is it possibly just because i installed ubuntu on the same drive as vista and it cant access vista files? It said something about my boot sectors.
