I have a multi boot windows system over 2 SSD's and 2 additional data HDD's. I have attached a snip of my drive configurations from windows. The SSD's are Disk 2 & 3. Disk 3 has a 47GB empty partition I want to install Ubuntu on. I know just enough about Linux to really mess me up, so I'm asking for advice before the install.
I have read several Ubuntu install guides. I know that I will need to make a boot, swap, and root partitions. My rig has 16GB of ram.
First I know Linux uses a very different drive naming system then windows. something like /dev/hd1. From the picture I have attached, can you show me what the designations of the new partitions I will have to make during the install, and what sizes for each that will fill the 47GB? I do have a current complete backup of both SSD's, and i will be using easyBCD to go back to the windows bootloader running first on boot.
Many thanks
