I have installed 10.10 on an Acer laptop. The machine was supplied with 3 Primary partitions:
/dev/sda1 ntfs PQSERVICE 13GB
/dev/sda2 ntfs SYSTEM RESERVED 100MB
/dev/sda3 ntfs Win7 59GB
Now I have added the following for Ubuntu and all works fine
/dev/sda4 extended 20GB
/dev/sda5 ext4 14GB
/dev/sda6 linux-swap 6GB
unallocated unallocated 142GB
No you see I wanted to use the 142GB as an additional ntfs partition for storage and accessible from Ubuntu and Win7. I cannot of course because I have used my four Primary partitions. So how can I re-organise things, or start again without disturbing Win7?
What are my options?
Thanks.
