Hi all,
I am using Asus eee PC model 1001P and I am running ubuntu netbook remix on it. I have a 160 GB hard drive. When I was installing ubuntu I assigned only 50 GB for it, thinking that I will use the remaining partition for windows.
But right now after using UNR, I don't want to use windows at all. Is it possible that I can assign the remaining 100 GB unassigned partition back to Ubuntu without reinstalling the whole operating system again?
Sure you can create additional partitions as 'root' to use on the system. As root use 'cfdisk' or 'fdisk' to create the partitions. 'qtparted' is another way of managing partitions.
Thanks for your reply. But the thing is I am still not getting a hang about the partition. The unassigned partition is not detected by the ubuntu file system. Can you please give me a step by step procedure for it. Thank you again.
It would be helpful if we could see your partition structure to know where your different partitions are. Log in to a terminal and run the command: sudo fdisk -l (lower case Letter L), enter your user password, hit enter, post the output here.
