Complete Linux newbie here
I've got Ubuntu up and running, and I looked in Storage Device Manager and noticed something strange. My computer has one 80 gig drive with two partitions (XP and Ubuntu) and one 500 gig drive where I store my data. Here's my Fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x24399f5b
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 60801 488384001 7 HPFS/NTFS
Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x2b9c2b9c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 5099 40957686 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb2 5100 9729 37190475 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sdb5 5100 9485 35230513+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb6 9486 9729 1959898+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
So sda is my 500 gig, sdb is my 80 gig. I don't understand what sdb1 and sdb2 are exactly, and I think something might have been screwed up when I installed Ubuntu and made my partition.
When I go into Storage Device Manager, sda1 and sdb1 are the same. They have the same mount point, and if I try to edit one, it changes for both.
Do I need to re-partition my 80 gig drive (sdb)? I feel like that drive should just be XP, Linux, and the swap. Is there a way to fix this within Ubuntu?
