Windows 7: A guide on partition a hard drive

Thanks, oh just one more thing to add if i want to get back the space from the LinuX partition back into my c drive can i do or not?

If you want the easiest, most convenient trouble-free experience then give this a go; if/when you are done it's as easy as deleting a file from Windows to remove WUBI.

Thanks but i wanna know about how to recover the space from the disk partition

If you haven't actually installed Linux yet to that Extended/Logical partition, then right click the Extended and click delete, then delete the Free Space that creates, then right click the C: Primary and click Extend to expand C: into the unallocated space.

If you have already installed Linux to that space you are screwed.

Ok thanks no didnt installed Linux yet doing it tommorow just wandering

OK mate good to see you getting it sorted.

Hey everyone thanks for all the help I got Linux installed and I love it, plus everything is working properly, so thanks really appreciate it.

Good to see you getting it sorted, thanks for the update.


Did you use WUBI or did you actually install to a separate partition.

I used the Ubuntu windows installer then I selected it to install to the separate partition, it did all the work within 5 minutes, including formatting the filesystem to what it uses etc.

If you don't mind post another maximized snip of Windows 7 disk management, just 'cause I'm curious.
