Ubuntu :: GParted - How To Resize Operating Systems Os
Feb 12, 2010
I'm Dual Booting Ubuntu and Vista and i downloaded gparted today because i wanted to resize my operating systems so that Ubuntu had the majority of the hard drive. I was able to resize the vista part so that it was smaller, however i can't figure out how to resize the ubuntu half so that it takes up the unallocated part. I am currently in the process of changing over completely to ubuntu but i dont want to get rid of vista completely just yet.

I have a dual-boot ubuntu-Windows XP computer, and today, while rummaging in the basement, found some Windows 3.1 floppies. My laptop has no floppy drive, but just to ask, can you intsall old OSs (Winows 3, Mac OS 7)on your PC to make it tri boot if you already have some modern operating systems? And I've seen that old Operating systems can be downloaded, so how do you install those?

I "experimented" with UNetBootInstall on a USB key and messed up my GRUB2 settings pretty good. Now I can't find a grub.cfg file.I've gotten a couple of error messages about not having an OS installed on the computer. I have Natty Narwhal installed as well as Windows 7 with Wubi.

I have a laptop with a 320GB disk. Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 It has 8 partitions: [From Testdisk]
[code]....
Long story short, after reinstalling windows 7 and messing around a little with its partition and the other ntfs one (resizing etc); Gparted won't open the disk. It shows all the disk as unallocated space, And throws a message to the terminal which says something like "Can't have a partition out of the disk." Funny thing is that *almost* everything is working fine. Everything works except that ubuntu can't use the swap. (Dmesg says: "Swap area shorter than signature indicates") Also, testdisk, if i run a deep search for partitions, finds the last partition twice, but the second time the partition goes from 37129 0 1 to 40240 254 63 , while the disk ends at 38913 255 63. The problem is that I can't use Gparted now and I want to resize a partition.Also I believe that going without swap is not good for ubuntu.

I wanted to shrink my windows partition and enlarge ubuntu's partition,I shrunk windows ok,but Gparted wont let me enlarge the Linux partition to the left side,toward the unallocated space....Gparted will allow me to expand my windows partition back,I even tried creating a new partition and formatted it to ext4,and then deleting the partition.no go,I read somewhere that Gparted may not allow you to move the front side of the Linux partition,.

I have both windows XP home and Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my computer. I started with Ubuntu 8.04 (i think that was the number) and it has updated a few times since then. You see the thing is that when I choose an operating system at the boot up, it lists all of the updates to ubuntu. so there are like 12 options to choose from besides windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10.

I have Ubuntu and Windows on the same machine. If I install Thunderbird on both operating systems is it possible that both installs can access the same email files so that all of my emails will be in one file no matter which operating system was running when emails are downloaded or sent?

I have been reading around the internet but I cant find any solutions, and on a side note im new to linux.When I try to install ubuntu 10.04 on my dell xps 420 desktop it doesn't detect my windows 7 install, would this have anything to do with me having my RAID set to on? and if I do change my RAID settings will I damage my windows 7 installation?here is my sudo fdisk -l:
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders

Is it possible? (and probable?) I've successfully followed psychocats' tutorial on creating a separate home in ubuntu and noticed that it basically "only" needs fstab editing, so I wonder if could create the same home for two OSs (ubuntu and fedora). The only problem which comes to my mind is file/folder ownership but I'm not sure. and since I'm just a newbie, I think it'd be better if I consult to this forum first before messing up with OS.

I am looking for recommendations on books and studying material for a person starting from zero and wanting to become a very competent user of Linux operating systems. From learning the very basic commands and use of the terminal to contributing to the development of a distro.
Can someone please suggest any books or authors that would be suited to start a program of this sort? (It would be preferable if they are available in hard copy format but e-books could also work)
I would also like to have an expert opinion on how much time you think it would take to get from novice to expert in the Linux world if devoting roughly thirty five hours a week. I intend to compile a step by step curriculum from personal experiences.

I've been trying to resize my root partition with gparted. I resize a ntfs partition to get more freespace available and I got 30GB of freespace and when I try to resize my root partition (unmounted) I can't do it, it's like I don't have any freespace.

I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and I was recommended to create separate partitions for root, home and swap. I was told that 15GB would be enough for a root partition but I am actually running out of that space very quickly after installing a few programs.
I wanted to resize it so I loaded up my live cd with Gparted and It won't let me resize it by more than 1MB. I also have at least 30GB of unallocated space on my hard drive so I don't know why I can't use it.
Here's some screenshots of GParted:

I'm stuck on shrinking my Windows 7 NTFS partition using the Gparted LiveCD.
I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to move it past the dashing bar of death.
If not, am I screwed, or should i just keep waiting?

I presently have Ubuntu and Windows XP Pro installed. By using the GRUB loader I can choose which to load.
I would like to install Fedora as a third option, but do not know how this will affect the GRUB and the choices.

I installed Fedora 14 in a dual boot with Windows 7 (Win 7 came preinstalled on my Vaio, I freed up 30 GB on a hard disk drive and installed Fedora in it).The first reboot took me straight to Windows. I could not find a way to get multiple Operating systems, so I tried looking on the net a bit, and installed EasyBCD. This gave me the option of choosing the boot up OS. But when I choose Fedora in the options, the screen changes to GRUB4DOS which lists Fedora and Other as my two boot options.Selecting either one of these options results in Error 22 No partition found.
