What are Drive Partitions? 

but the E: drive is always the happiest

O: drive is always surprised

I: Drive is indifferent. Same with T: drive.

lol i hate u

P: drive licks his eye.

I came here for the same exact reason lol.

@@melseven5294 and now im here for the same reason lol

Linux, right?

I believe so

EXT4MASTERRACE

+Yahya Wessam (vbajs) Yes, Linux.

+Yahya Wessam (vbajs) but not Linux only. u can put it on a flash drive and boot from it, allowing editing of any partition, instead of just the ones not being used by the OS.

w00t. Gpart is the best.

Would you recommend this software for dual- or multibooting? or any other decent program?

Hehe, I always use GParted

It's the simplest program to use in changing partition sizes without entering the OS. It's also one of the few free methods of MOVING entire partitions, which can sometimes be useful. It is risky as if the power goes out, your best bet is to reformat.

Y u no 16.04?

+Guillermo Gonzalez lots of programs don't work with it currently

Guillermo Gonzalez Didn't work properly. Oddly enough the main program that I expected to work, the software center, didn't work properly.

Guillermo Gonzalez Plus I was working on a Digital Ocean server that was using 14.04, so I wanted to maintain parody.

Mikail Kraft +Piece Digital Studios Oooohhh. No bueno. Steam hasn't worked for me on 16.04 or 14.04, but I suspect that has something to do with my ancient laptop that I put Ubuntu on. It's 10 years old.

Me too

@Computer User The guest OS inside the virtual machine is supposed to be isolated from the host OS so the malware should not be able to get out of the VM, the only thing I can think of now is a bug in VM itself. At the end of the day, 99% ppl are running a different OS with a different file system.

don't you mean gpt?

Zaim Waqar I know this is old but GPT stands for GUID Partition Table

Absolutely. Rocking that configuration on my laptop.

I think that you can also partition drives for OS X... but the steps to do so will be different. You can run Windows on an Apple machine by creating a new partition for it... Apple uses partitions for their recovery sector... I'm 99% certain this also applies to OS X

Sam Watson Yes, but the bits about configuring the OS for storage to it, not being able to move programs to it, and secret partitions are all wrong.

It's Linux. *Deal with it.* If Stallman was so smart he would had figured out how to get a community around GNU Hurd, instead he went unheard and is seen as a prolific and intelligent crazy man. That aside, check out Ubuntu MATE as another beginner OS. It's like old Ubuntu, only without GNOME but it's MATE so it;s kind-of GNOME.

bluephreakr Is this bait? Or are you genuinely an idiot? The GNU team made around 90% of the OS, Linux is only the kernel. Giving both linus and the GNU team equal credit is just the right thing to do.

Quentin1o2 It may be right, but honestly, in all the Linux commentary you've heard ever, how many people go out of their way to credit the GNU team? GNU would get all of the credit if Hurd ever took off as an OS, guaranteed. But it did not. And Stallman is still quietly in the background. I respect the man, but I also know many people don't care about him as much as Torvalds, and that is something you'd need to realize too when talking to people about Linux. All people know about Linux is the system, not the kernel. And to be honest, that kind of pisses me off. my OS is Ubuntu MATE, _not_ Linux, as you're right; Linux is the kernel. And most of the tools were made by the GNU team, Free Software Foundation, Novell, Red Hat and affiliates thereof. But _nobody cares about that._ Go on, try to talk to somebody about GNU / Linux. Say GNU to them and watch their eyes roll to the back of their head.

nahhhh, all about damn small Linux

He's just doing it as fast as possible.

Lenovo likes to "think big"... THINK big.

lol thx m8

You mean Bing it?

I just did the partition related stuff come up lol

Who googled it because you said it? Be honest You shouldn’t have said it-

Why tho ?

back?

You know what's funny? My place of employment still uses Windows 95 for some of their machines (I've seen the boot screen.) Go UPS! :P

go to virtualbox, you can use your outdated software all you want.

Sounds like something went horribly wrong during the update! I’ve never heard of anything quite like that happening after an update!

On Linux it's stupidly easy to put your home directory on a separate partition

@@KSPAtlas the only downside is linux

Okay , can I ask what should I delete and which I shouldn’t since I really don’t have anything I want to save , when they say data do they mean like videos or pictures or do they mean essential components of my device I mean I myself I don’t understand this whole thing ?!

​@@sevgiamikertash6823 Not quite sure what you are asking, but data is any information on your storage device, may it be pictures, document or even programs, all that is data. But are you looking to reinstall an OS or just free up space on your computer?

how the fuck do you do that

Turned it upside down and luckily it didn't touch the internals and It only got in the IO ports in the front of the case. (Not using those for a while)

Wat

i mean the water splash

Hey, it makes it last longer. XD

It makes access to your "data" faster *lennyface.jpg*

you might lose your data *lenny face*

Lawrence because he is Canadian and only Americans say zee

@@quarantinecompute ah, I see. Thanks.

BurningSunModZ v2 yes

@ well yes but actually yes

+Joti Smiri Here. Never looked back to Windows Disk Management or anything else again.

Here's a f*cking gold star

Yes

Love the windows version and the bootable version is an absolute life saver

This. Powerful, light weight and simple. Better than some other paid versions

GParted and diskpart, if the GUI DiskManagement can't help

i use this one too!!!

wile C:\ is happy lol

Sean Oberg or a disappointed angel

Hello, please tell me why. I'm not a techy person. I bought a new laptop and wondering if I need to partition it. Thanks!

@@ranelmarinduque794 There isn't any reason to partition it because everything can be stored on one partition (usually called the C Drive). It is only necessary to do this if you want to install a second Operating System on the hard drive. It can be done for safety reasons, too. It reduces data loss should something happen to one of the partitions. Do what suits your needs. Just because Chad said it was no longer needed, does not mean you can't or shouldn't do it. You might have a reason to do it. In fact, I partitioned mine a few weeks ago (I now have three partitions - A C drive, D Drive, and a G Drive). Long story short - it isn't necessary, but you can do it if you have a reason to do it.

@@GreenTornado Wow! Big help! Thanks buddy.

@@ranelmarinduque794 You're welcome! 😃

amen

wow ur really fucked up dude i like partitioning my hard drive mostly for multi os use

Squarespace and partitioning have nothing to do with backups...

***** there is no other fucking benefit to partitioning other that its easier to format windows and u keep ur shitty files on other partition....thats for people who dont want to buy external drives....sooner or later they end up loosing all files.

xAsmir What if you want to have 2 OSes in a laptop with only 1 drive? And no, bootable distros from CD and USB don't count

he didn't mean everyone as in E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E ... he just meant the majority ... sigh, why are you people so literal with phrases and stuff lol

You just red my mind 👍

Not everyone is on Windows, but everyone on Windows is using NTFS instead of FAT/FAT32/HFS/EXTx. You will see FAT on UEFI systems, but thats for the bootloader and not the OS.

In Mac OS X, the file system is called OS X Extended :v

Yeh same, I'm running Arch

@lazycouch doge steal some from old laptops I scarped a desktop and a laptop and used some of its parts to get 2 hard drives and a free copy of windows 10 and ram which o replaced in my old rig with some corsair vegance lpx
