Re: Reinstalling Ubuntu, Putting on Kubuntu, & Make a Data Partion Seprate from the O
I am about to do the install. While I am in Gparted, I see that there are three unallocated partitions, one 3.1MB, another 1.34GB, and the other 1MB. All I can do is format them, or get information on them. Upon formating them with ext2, ext3, or ext4, I get a message saying:
Code:
A partition cannot have a length of -63 sectors.
How do I get rid of this partition, make it part of another, format it, doing anything with it?
Also, is it OK that I formated my old Linux Swap partition? I assume that it will make another upon reinstall (Or I Hope; LOL)
I notice I have been spelling partition wrong. I have been spelling it P-A-R-T-I-O-N, when it is really P-A-R-T-I-T-I-O-N. I am getting bad with computer terms.
Thanks a lot.
