Hi gurus,
I currently triple-boot my Lenovo U410 with Ubuntu 14.04, Windows
8.1 (which came pre-installed) and Windows 10 tech preview.
There is an SSD used for Intel Fastboot (AFAIK) and the three OSs
are all installed on the main 500GB HDD.
My question is this - if I decide to wipe out all the Windows
installs and only keep Ubuntu, can I move the / partition onto the
SSD without re-installing?
Would it just be easier to re-install on the SSD keeping my /Home
on the 500GB HDD, and where should I put the Swap area? (The SSD
is 24GB....)
Thanks!
Short answer seems to be yes from here:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Dual-booting-Ubuntu-13-04-with-Windows-8-on-a-U410/td-p/1116115
I did wonder if the SSD was visible and bootable from the BIOS and it
does seem to be if you switch off this Intel Smart Response
Technology, which I would guess has a proprietary Windows kernel driver.
Thanks for that. I'd forgotten about that thread - I initiated it! (Well
it was over a year ago.....)
