Software :: Convert Primary Partition To Logical (ie Move It Inside The Extended Partition)?
Nov 29, 2010Around 2008 i seem to remember PartEd on the command-line was able to rescue deleted partitions and gave a choice of whether to recover the partition as a Primary or Logical Partition. I have tried testdisk but didn't really grok what i was doing. I successfully moved a "Windows Recovery" partition to the end of my hard-drive, immediately after the drive's Extended Partition.

Feb 8, 2010This is my partition table....(in the image) Now I would like to install windows in the unpartitioned space after a long time..... I tried but could not do that. I understood that Windows needs only primary partitions!
So I tried to convert this logical one into primary, but of no use... Is it possible to convert that unpartitioned space which is under logical drive to a primary one!
Ubuntu :: Migrate Logical Partition To Primary?
Feb 25, 2011I'm running Ubuntu 10.10
I have been running a dual boot system for a while now and I haven't logged onto the Windows side for quite a while. I'm ready to whack it.
What I want to do is get rid of sda1, sda2, sda3 partitions(all Windows related) - migrate my Linux install(sda5) to a Primary partition, migrate the swap out of the extended partition, and then make everything else my "data"(ext4) partition...so basically go to 2 primary partitions and a swap.
I know how to ultimately get to my one big "data" partition, but the part I'm not so sure or comfortable with is whacking the current Primary partitions and migrating the Ubuntu install to the new primary partition.

Ubuntu :: Convert Ext4 Primary Partition To Logical?
Oct 17, 2010I'm trying to convert big ext4 partition to logical. I was able to do that with Arconis Disk Director Home 11 with swap and ext3 partition, but it doesn't recognize ext4.
Unfortunately I can't copy 2TB data to another HD Now I have:
Pri /boot ext3
Log / ext3
Log swap swap
Pri /media/X ext4 <- 2TB
When I do that I be able to install Ubuntu Server next to CentOS. And I will add partition /home(ext4) for both and "/"(ext4) for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu :: Gparted - Convert A Logical Partition To Primary?
Mar 13, 2011Problem:Here's what I had, they basically needed to switch places.C: Windows Primary (The contents of this was my boot partition)D: Extended Logical (I wanted this to become the primary)I googled what to do, and believe it or not it seems people really didn't have a solution besides reformatting it?We learn from our mistakes. That's why I'm posting what I did to see if someone knows a better way!What I did:First I used an Ubuntu LiveCD or 10.04. (Not .1 oh noes)Then I opened up gparted and shrank the extended partition so I would have enough room to move them around.I mounted both the C: and D: partitions and copied the data over to the primary from the logical.I deleted the logical and then moved and resized the primary!Then I flagged the primary partition boot.Well that's one way to get from logical to primary with your data
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Possible To Move Ubuntu Primary Partition To Logical / Extended?
Nov 5, 2010I'm currently dual booting Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 10.10 each on primary partitions. Then on the other 2 partitions I have the manufacturer recovery partition (which I am not sure I should remove...), and then a partition for storage and files. Now I want an Arch Linux installation on the hard drive, but obviously I cannot create a new primary partition because I already have 4. I found out that linux can run from a logical partition (which you can have multiple of)..However I do not want to format my Ubuntu partition and I'd prefer to keep the data on there all intact. Is there a way to move my Ubuntu installation (on the primary partition) to an extended partition where I could put multiple logical partitions for multiple linux installations?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Change Primary Partitions Into Logical?
May 9, 2011I have first installed Windows7 to sda2 (sda1 being the MBR). Then I installed Ubuntu as follows: sda3 /boot, sda5 swap (sda4 being the Extended partition), sda6 /, sda7 /home. So far so good. Windows and Ubuntu worked fine. I also planned to create another partition for data and two more partitions for Arch Linux. And here is the problem.I just assumed that the Extended partitions were created logical but actually they are also primary. So, as things stand, all my 7 partitions are primary and I cannot create any more partitions.I must've erred somewhere during the Ubuntu installation. Is it possible ti change the Extended partitions into logical, without affecting all the stuff within? Any ideas? Otherwise I will have to delete everything after Windows and install Ubuntu again, making sure that I create logical partitions in the Extended part

May 9, 2011So I noticed while using guided partitioning that most distro installers will attempt to create a logical partition for the root file system besides the swap and /boot on the HDD. Why is this the case? Why does the partition for root file system have to be logical and not primary?

Hardware :: Change Primary Partitions To Logical Partitions AND Migrate Their Data?
Mar 28, 2010I've installed Arch Linux onto my Western Digital SATA drive.I love it, best ever, however, I need the fglrx proprietry driver for better 3-d performace, and decided to create a new partition. I decided to install Linux Mint.Sadly, in all my noobishness, I forgot about the 4 primary partition limit (oops!) and as I have /, /home, swap, and /boot partitions (all primary) already installed, I have run into a bit of a problem.I resized my /home partition (almost 500GB) to about 225, and was then told I have over 200GB unusable space. Is it possible for me to change at least 1 of my primary partitions to logical partitions AND keep all the data intact (AND edit the arch configuration so that it'll still work) so I can install a second linux? I sincerely doubt it

Fedora :: Home Partition And Create Logical Volume Out Of 53 Gb Filesystem Partition?
Aug 24, 2010I installed fedora 13 64 bit and it works great but I encountered several issues when setting up guest OS with KVM. The problem seems to be related to selinux. But let me first ask question about logical volume. By Default fedora created logical volumes:
[Code].....
"If you expect that you or other users will store data on the system, create a separate partition for the /home directory within a volume group. With a separate /home partition, you may upgrade or reinstall Fedora without erasing user data files." seems to suggest I have to create a separate physical partition and assign that to /home. But reading elsewhere it seems to suggest logical volume acts like a partition. My goal is to make it easy in case fedora is hosed and I have to re-install it without affecting /home where my cirtical data resides. Given above do I need to create a separate physical partition or I am just fine?
I have a second hard disk that originally had windows and all my data. Windows is hosed but I can see my data from within Fedora and Windows is gone and I created created new partition in its place which used ot be the C:/ drive appears as 53 Gb filesystem. My data which was originally D drive appears as 215 GB filesystem. As given in [URL] I want to create a new logical volume in 53 Gb filesystem which I want to use as space for virtual disk to install guest OS's in KVM. Currrently 53 GB filesystem is mounted as /media/3467BH89JK789 but this does not work well with KVM. how do I create this logical volume out of 53 Gb filesystem partition and add proper selinux info and do I add to vg_vostrolx volume group and in a different volume group?
OpenSUSE Install :: Deleting One Logical Partition Changes Partition Numbers Of The Others?
Oct 9, 2010I started withsda1 windows restore sda3 extendedsda5 swapsda6 /mandrivasda7 /SUSE 11.3
sda8 /SUSE 11.2I then made some changes with gparted (from PartedMagic 5.5) to create an ntfs partition to simulate a condition where someone may want to delete that partition and use the free space for linux. I then deleted that partition, sda2 then sda5 (swap) and taking some screenshots, went about resizing partitions to use that free space and then recreate swap. the intention being to create a basic guide on how to go about this.I have previously only had my swap at the end of the extended partition, deleting itand recreating it later had caused little trouble.I realize that a resize/move operation would have been a better choice.What I was not expecting was the partition number changes that occurred.
Code:
root@PartedMagic:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

Ubuntu :: How To Make Primary OS
May 17, 2011I've just installed Ubuntu here in my pc, so I'm getting used to it; and, I'm planning on making it my primary OS. Aside from Ubuntu, I've got Windows 7 installed, I didn't like it, it was kinda buggy, so, I'd like to uninstall it. But I don't know how to uninstall windows 7 without reformatting, because I don't want to lose Ubuntu.I was actually going to format, and just install Ubuntu by booting, but there's something wrong with my pc because every time I burn the *.iso image file of Ubuntu that I downloaded on the site, it says that it can't read the data on the CD, I've tried it like, five times, using different CD's and burning programs but, no luck. An error message will also appear about 'not being able to read the cd' when I double click it. I even read the page here about burning Ubuntu *.iso into a cd, I did everything step by step but, still no luck.
