Hello!
I am new to ubuntu. Finally decided to give it a go, after hearing heaps of praise. But looks like I screwed up in the installation itself. Here is what happened.
I have a windows machine (desktop) where I have 3 partitions, C:, D: (where I have all my data) and E: (9 GB), which was empty space and I made it into partition to install ubuntu. During the install phase, when prompted to repartition, I chose the default setting. The installation was fine and ubuntu started without the disk on reboot. However, when I clicked to install the updates, it said, not enough space. I realized that it has borrowed some space from D: (about 3GB) rather than installing on E:. So there is not enough space in its root directory.
So what do I do now? Do I have to uninstall ubuntu (I actually don't know how) and reinstall using some other settings? Why did it not pick E: which was completely empty? Is there some easier way to fix this mess?
Thanks for the inputs!
