Hello, I have a question about partitioning.
I recently bought a computer with a 6.4gb harddisk. At the moment it has 4 partitions: 3 x 2gb and one 0.4gb. I want to use the last 2 partitions to (2gb + 0.4gb) to install Linux. Since buying this computer I have not installed anything nor created any files in these last two partitions. Nonetheless, they contain some files and programs (listed below). I suppose my question is this: How important are these files? Can I safely delete them (whilst using fdisk - linux version)? Or do I need to move them to some other directory before using another program to create one partition from these two? Are there any hidden files that I need to worry about? Partitions and their files. Partition E: Recycled ffastun.ffa ffastun.ffl ffastun.ffo ffastun0.ffx Partition F: Recycled ffastun.ffa ffastun.ffl ffastun.ffo ffastun0.ffx Thanks Irvine
