It's my first post, so I'm a noob here. I've been playing a little bit for a few days with ubuntu and wubi, and want to migrate to a partition. I've reduced de free space of one of the existing partitions that I have, in order to format this free space in two partitions, the one for the linux and the other for swap.
My problem comes here: I use an Asus Eee Pc, and it already comes with 4 partitions, one for the windows 7 system files, one for my stuff, other with the extremly usefull utility to reinstall windows [remember that as being a netbook, my computer doesn't have CD, and I don't have the Windows install CD, all I have it's this partition] and another one that I have no idea for what is it, but I supose it's needed somewhat.
I don't want to get rid of the windows 7; I could reformat the partition where I have my stuff, but I will need to have a dedicated partition anyway. The problem, then it's that I can't creat any other partition, since the maximum of primary partitions is 4.
Then I realized that this tutorial migrates linux and swap into sda5 and sda6. If I'm not wrong that means logical partitions [from an extended partition] sorry if this make no sense, I've just started learning all this concepts and else, so I may be totally wrong.
It is possible to migrate to an extended partition? How could I organize it [maybe change my stuff partition to an extended one?]
Thank you very much for the help; if this question is out of the threat, I would apreciate if you direct me to the right threat. And finally, excuse me for my possible mistakes with the English, I don't know if I expressed good my problem.
