Hi everyone, I have to install Linux on one friends laptop without wasting time in backing up or moving data here and there.
the hard disk scene is /dev/sda /dev/sda1 of about 100MB which is part of window 7 installation /dev/sda2 of about 300GB which contains window 7 OS, have lot of free space /dev/sda3 of about 10GB which is recovery drive /dev/sda4 of about 100MB which is HP_TOOLS I will use free space from sda2. but 4 primary partitions are already created so I cant create new partition. earlier I used to convince people to delete Recovery partition as they had C/DVD's of window and drivers but some people dont have CD/DVS's of window and drivers so I have to take long time to decide what should I do in this case as I dont want to waste my time in creating recovery DVD's for them. do anyone have idea how much HP_TOOLS (sda4) is significant? what if I delete this small partition? does this drive contains something important for laptop? or suggest me what should I do in such cases? or can we convert primary partition to extended/logical partition?
