Download gparted to your Ubuntu system and run it. It is a partition program that can resize things for you.

I have two hard drives: one with Ubunto and the other with windows 7. I installed Ubunto some time back with just the minimum space required, i think it's 16gb. I want to reinstall so it won't run out of space and crash. When I try reinstalling, will it create the partitions I want or will I need to do it myself before the installation? > Partition size is a matter of personal preference, combined with what you'll be using it for, as wel as the minimum requirements of a system. For example, I think Windows 7 needs at least 20 GB of space, or some other surprisingly large amount. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
