you'll need a partation manager... I think gparted is OK.

So type "sudo apt-get install gparted"

then it should be in your menu.. probably under system or utilities.

Run it and you should be able to reformat the windows bit as ext2 or whatever you want it to be. You can then either merge it or set it at a separate mount point, for example "~/downloads"

I've never used it though, so that is a bit of a guess.

Just for you I'm installing it myself to have a look.

OK, once you've installed GParted, load it up and you should get something like this...


Click on the partition you want to do, then click on "Partition" and go down to the menu option "Format to..." and select whatever format your other partitions are in (probably ext3).

Then click on the formatted partition again and set a mount point. You will probably need to go into your home directory and create a folder like /videos first. then set the mount point to /home/CMN/videos.

...or it might be easier to delete the windows partition and then resize the ubuntu partition to use the new space

Well, I'm just about to install Ubuntu on my laptop, so this should be fun. I briefly tried Mandriva, but it wouldn't boot from the CD, and it's a bit gay sounding, so I think I'll give Ubuntu a go. If it doesn't boot, I've got Dban ready on a flash drive.

Here we go....

good decision.

it's a really nice operating system.

If it works, I intend to fuck up my home PC with it afterwards.

Well, this is going well. Nothing can boot from my HD (yes, the HD does work and is first in the boot order) which means I can't get Dban to work as well as Ubuntu.

That fucking piece of shite Windows will not be banished. Anyone know how I can get rid of it?

^ BIOS Setup - put your CD/DVD-drive first in the boot order list.

When booting next time you'll get a prompt for a few seconds "Press any key to boot from CD".
That is if you have a bootable CD in the drive , otherwise BIOS will try to boot from the second item in the list which should be your harddisk.

I know it should, but it just hangs until I power it off.

Owned? In what way?

"Oh no! My old laptop won't boot from a CD!!"

Very scary...

You claim you have your HD first in the boot order list.
You will never get a boot from a CD until the CD-drive is first in the boot order list.
