If you have switched to the Linux operating system, then sooner or later you will need to create new partitions in this file system. Unlike Windows, Linux does this operation differently, and it is often difficult for the user to figure it out at first. In fact, the main thing is to get some basic partitioning skills.
Necessary
- - Computer;
- - Norton PartitionMagic 8.0.
Instructions
Step 1
Consider the case of creating hard disk partitions in the Linux version of Ubuntu. For the next steps, you must have root access. First, run the Fdisk –l command. In this way, you will see the available system drives. Select your new hard drive from the list that appears.
Step 2
This operating system has a program for creating partitions of hard drives. It's called Cfdisk. Run the program. Enter the name of the disc you will be working with. Then click New. Select "Create Section" and select "Primary". The section will be created. After creating it, click Bootable, then Write. Then write Yes. Now exit the program. To do this, click Quit.
Step 3
You can also create partitions for Linux just before installing this operating system. To do this, download and install Norton PartitionMagic 8.0 on your computer. Start it up. After starting in the main menu, select the disk partition from which free space will be taken for partitions under Linux. Click on it with the left mouse button. Then select "Size, Move Partition" from the program menu. In the "New size" line, set the new capacity for this partition and click OK. The freed space will be available for creating Linux partitions. In this way, free up space from Windows partitions for Linux partitions. Later, you can delete the Windows partitions and scatter the remaining memory across the new OS partitions.
Step 4
Then select "Create New Section" from the menu. In the next windows, click "Next". You don't need to change anything. In the "Partition Properties" window, select one of the Linux system options as the file system type. Click Next and Finish. The Linux partition will now be created. In this way, you can create the required number of partitions.
