Hi guys,
I was wondering, this person I know wants to try ubuntu, but not remove windows, so knowing that windows is partition 1, and ubuntu would be partition 2. now, he eventually will switch entirely to ubuntu, at which point he would like to reclaim his space in partition 1. which is the best option?
1- resize partition 1 to the smallest possible (8mb) and resize partition 2?
or
2- remove partition 1 and resize partition 2, in which case, how would that affect ubuntu/grub?
