I use 200 GB and 2 GB Ram. WinRe: 1.5 Gb C: Vista 52 Gb D: Linux 24 E: swap 2.4 F: data 107 GB
now i using Vista & Linux together without any problem but i want reinstall my Vista again & i think my harddisk partition is not good and I do not know the right type of partition in that situation. You can have only two primary partitions and the rest need to be under a logical partition. I think we can have 4 Primary partitions. *I'm sure that my current partition is not good. see it again. i use the Fdisk -l in terminal: * Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 192 1536000 27 Unknown Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 * 192 6948 54272000 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 6949 9987 24410767+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 9988 24321 115137855 5 Extended /dev/sda5 9988 10352 2931831 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 10353 24321 112204800 7 HPFS/NTFS But my Vista partiton showing: My Current partition: 1.
