in windows partitions (which is flexible) i can create partition in any name and can be monitored or analysed for usage or representation/navigation style is also more user friendly.
friend the above one is a problem but my real problem is that during the installation of ubuntu 9.04 i partitioned and formated nearly onethird of the hdd capacity in ext3 file system and the mount point was given(typed, as it wasn't in the list) as 'backup'. I created one partition as 'User' and another one as 'Home' . apart from root and swap. in my system winxp is loaded in the primary partition c:. d and e are ntfs and fat32 formated partitions. after installation of Ubuntu , i can see but cannot use the partition 'backup'. as it is in ext3 it cannot be used from win xp either. more over it would be useful if some tips were shown about mount points during partitioning. such as if u create a separate home partition ur data will not be lost if u reload/reinstall Linux again, etc, etc. i like free areas like in win xp.
