Hello friend,
I'm new to ubuntu, so i was trying to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. i successfully dual booted, both windows 7 and ubuntu worked for me. I made 3 partitions:
1st partion for windows 7
2nd partition for linux
3rd partition for Data: must show up in both windows 7 and linux
but here is how i ended up:
/dev/sda1 - ntfs - 22.58 gb <----windows
/dev/sda2 - linux-swap - 18.47 gb , <---wanted to installed linux in this partition but i couldnt, dont know why
/dev/sda3 - extended - 70.74 gb which has:
/dev/sda5 - ext3 - 67.81 gb
/dev/sda6 - linux-swap - 2.93 gb
i wanted to use sda3 for data but linux got installed and cant see this partition in windows at it is "ext3".
:confused::confused::confused:
Please advice how do I do the following:
1st partion for windows 7
2nd partition for linux
3rd partition for Data: must show up in both windows 7 and linux
Thank You so much...
