General :: Use GParted To Make Another Partition?
Jun 26, 2011I have 3 partitions on my hdd right now, a Windows 7 one, the associated System Reserved and my Linux Mint partition. I was trying to use GParted to make another partition by splitting my Linux Mint one in two smaller partitions. I can't, however, unmount it, and so can't partitions it. I have considered partitioning it from Windows 7, but I'm afraid it will screw some things up and stop booting up correctly. So, what could be making the partition unable to unmount?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Make A Blank Partition With Gparted And Install Lucid On It
Apr 30, 2010how to upgrade my ubuntu 9.10 system. I would like to do a clean install of lucid, but I have way too many files. I have a big hard drive, so space was not a problem, and things got out of hand ^^ One thing you should know is that I have plenty of room for my files even if the drive was half it's size, so my idea is possible space-wise. (And I am prepared if this fails. I have backed up my stuff, but would like if it I didn't have to rely on that)
What I want to do is make a blank partition with gparted and install lucid on it. Then I want to keep it a dual boot just to make sure my hardware is working ok, then move my home folder to the new partition, make the lucid partition take the whole hard drive, and delete karmic. I do not want to upgrade because I messed up my install a lot while learning linux, so I really need to start over.
General :: Partition Gparted Fdisk / When Reduced The Size Of Some Linux Partitions Using Gparted?
Sep 18, 2009I have 3 Ubuntu installations & a PCLINUXOS, plus Windows XP installed on one hard disk. I still can boot to each one of them and can mount each one using Ubuntu.
The problem "may" have occurred when I reduced the size of some linux partitions using gparted. I still have plenty of space in each of those partitions.
When I started gparted all of the HD was unallocated. I did that from each ubuntu installation and the PCLINUX installation, plus LIVECDs. All indicated the space was unallocated.
When I did an fdisk -l from a Puppy Linux LiveCD I got a normal start and ends of each partition.
When I tried it from Ubuntu installation or live cd, I received the following types of responses:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda5
Disk /dev/sda5: 28.5 GB, 28566397440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3473 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -u /dev/sda5
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3473.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Plus the Windows partition seems to go over its limits.
Since all of my OS installations are still working, I don't know how critical this is. From reading another post, I understand this might be able to be fixed by making some changes in fstab.
Hardware :: Invalid Partition Table For Swap Partition That Moved With Gparted?
Feb 8, 2010I was reading another thread about someone with a bad partition table and I decided to join this forum. I'm not going to take any drastic actions with the partition (/dev/sda3) in question. I am going to wait for instructions on what to do first. I am not very good with Linux and need some hand holding. System: DELL 4550 Dual-Booted with XP and Ubuntu. Works OK, just no swap. Well, here's what I did: I deleted a partition for Windows XP Pro because it was a trial, and it ran out. I then decided to slide the swap partition for the Ubuntu Linux that I dual-boot into over. (If this was successful, I was going to try expanding the root partition to take up the unused space.) I used Gparted on a CD to do this, as I figured it was safe to do.
I now cannot mount the swap space at bootup (and have to go into a backup version of the OS), although I can use Gparted in Linux to execute the "swapon" command, and it appears that it worked because I now see "swapoff" as an option on the context menu. (I actually don't even need a swap partition, except to hibernate.) If I highlight the swap partition and click on "Drive" on Gparted's menu bar and select "Create Partition Table", it will erase all data on /dev/sda, so how do I fix the bad partition table non-destructively?
Software :: Gparted: Joining 2 Partition Ext3 Within One Partition (data Saved)?
Dec 11, 2009I usually repartition a disk by backing up, deleting the partitions, formatting them and repartition. I just did a 200 gig backup (so i am safe) and i want to join 2 (ext3) partition together, sdb1 (data4) and sdb5 (data5) into one big partition. Is there a way to do it without scraping the data in sdb5 (data5). It would save me from rewriting the data back to that new partition (200 gig is time consuming).

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Can't Use Gparted - Resize Partition
Sep 17, 2010I 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.
Ubuntu :: Can't Find Partition On Hd With Gparted
May 18, 2011I have a laptop with dual boot and I think because it is a dual boot I can't find the linux partition, installed when I knew nothing about linux, so I most likely went with the default settings, I'm an absolute convert now and have run out of space for ubuntu.So got on the net and seen many screen shots of gparted with a clearly visible linux partition, swap etc, so I make myself a gparted live cd and mine is just not there.Really don't want to do another ubuntu re-install. This k52f has too many setting to correct with ubuntu and took me a really long time!!
Or is there is a different solution to to this other than expanding a possibly hidden linux partition? Is the alternative storing files on a shared partition both os can share?

Ubuntu :: Use GParted To Make Partitions Then Install Disk?
Jun 17, 2011I will be installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. The partitioning install section is text based and IMO a bit cryptic.

Jan 3, 2010I have a new 1.5tb internal drive I want to partition as NTFS (because Windoze machines need to see/use it) and in gparted, when I go to partition -> new, it says it could not add this operation to the list a partition cannot have a length of -1 sectors. I recall having this issue on my 2tb external drive and I ended up creating the NTFS parition on a Windoze machine and then bringing it to the Linux box but since this is an internal drive, that's not an option. I took all the defaults in the "Create new partition" screen.

Jan 8, 2010I was resizing my windows partition and accidently turned my computer off. When I went to run a disk check from gparted I get multiple filesystem errors. Chkdsk /r when run from a recovery cd says it can't determine the size of the partition so it can't continue. Is there anyway to get my files off the corrupted partition from within linux. Right now Gparted shows that it has been resized but that it is corrupted and i can't even attempt to mount it. There are only a few files I need to get off the partition but they are really important.

May 23, 2010I 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:

Aug 1, 2010I upgraded Windows to 7 from Vista. My Acer laptop had a recovery partition with Vista on it. I don't know, what I was thinking, after the update I deleted the recovery partition. Then got in to problem that Partition Table is deleted. Recovered the partition and partition table with LiveUSB and gpart.
So laptop was working again in about 30mins. Now I see the following issue. Laptop boots and works fine both in Ubuntu (default OS) and Win7. In Disk Utility the partitions are shown as in attachment. In Gparted the disk is not recognized as partition table is not recognized (so I guess) Output of fdisk is here for ref;

Ubuntu :: Gparted Crashed While Moving Partition?
Feb 28, 2011So I was moving and resizing a ntfs partition and i just touched gparted window and it crashed!! it was about 66% of finishing the operation... Now i guess i have a big mess in my hard drive and i dont know how to start solving it! i am in a ubuntu live cd?
If i open gparted now it shows the same partition table than before resizing and moving.. so i guess now part of my data is in this unallocated space after the sda5 partition.
Ubuntu :: Creating Primary Partition With GParted?
Mar 5, 2011I am running a dual boot of WIndows XP and Xubuntu 10.10 and I want to have an NTFS partition so I access files in both OSs. From what I understand, it has to be a Primary Partition, not a logical one, right? The thing is, GParted doesn't give me the option to create a Primary Partition, only a Logical one inside sda2 (Xubuntu).
P. s.: I am running GParted from inside the Live CD.
Ubuntu :: GParted Deleted Wrong HDD Partition
Mar 17, 2011Most times I use my brain but some how I really screwed up with deleting the wrong hdd's partition which was an 500GB NTFS with all of my custom programs, art, web design & so on which can not be replaced. Is there a way to reverse this process? Keep in mind I am not Linux friendly being I do not know the commands & so on so any copy paste commands with good detail on what it does would be greatly appreciated!
I used GParted to delete & already hit the accept but no other changes have been made on the HDD after that. I am currently running in Live mode as I was going to install on the 80GB which is the one I meant to delete but instead had a nice moment of insanity & deleted the 500 instead!
