Hi all,
I have a HD partitioning issue. I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 as a dual boot OS with WIN 7 (home premium). This is on a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook, x64 based, Intel i3 cpu 2266 Mhz, 2 cores\4 logical processors. 4 gigs of memory.
My problem is the HD allows 4 primary partitions. These partitions are already factory defined:
System – 199 MB NTFS - PRIMARY
C: - Windows – 238.53 GB NTFS - PRIMARY
Unallocated – 213.53 GB
D: - Recovery – 13.12 GB NTFS - PRIMARY
E: - HP_Tools – 103 MB FAT32 – PRIMARY
I was planning on using the Unallocated space for Ubuntu and Storage. It seemed so simple! Then I learn the drive can only have 4 primary partitions.
I’m open for suggestions …… please?
