I checked my partitions and it says that the 128 GB partition I installed Ubuntu to has 100% free memory. Is it correct for it to say that?

I guess windows can't detect there are files on it with it being marked as RAW even though linux can see it as ext4. Also there is a new partition on the internal recovery drive called E: which also has 100% free space and also marked as RAW. Does anyone know what this means?

Not that it matters because my dual boot works, but just out of curiosity.

I have added a screenshot for further information

It shows that you have 2 raw partitions totaling about 142Gig, boot into Ubuntu, open terminal &
or

I just thought I would add here for anyone having the same problem that this process is fully reversible by using windows disk management utility to delete those 2 partitions marked as RAW and extending the original partition back into it. I then did a factory restore on my laptop and it was back in it's out of the box condition. I then went through the process of dual booting again. I am happy about this flexibility to return it to it's factory state just in case I want to sell my laptop in the future.

I did notice that I hadn't actually installed Ubuntu on the filesystem. I'm not sure where it went but the 128 GB partition was empty. I hadn't actually set a mount point of /

I'm guessing that is what the E: partition was, I believe that may have been where Ubuntu was installed. This time, however, I have ensured to declare the 128 GB partition a mount point and also created a separate partition 8 GB from within that partition as my linux-swap

must've been a wubi install because if it were actually grub you would've had a booting problem.

Great! Sounds like you have a good start. Glad you solved it and posted the fix.

Great Job!
