Here is how my HDD looks like on Gparted,
Partition | File System | Label | size | Flags
/dev/sda1 | fat32 | DELLUTILITY | 350.00 MiB | diag
/dev/sda2 | fat32 | OS | 3.00 GiB | lba
/dev/sda3 | ext4 | 912.39 Gib | boot
/dev/sda4 | extended | 15.78 GiB
/dev/sda5 | linux-swap | 15.78 GiB
I want to know how to format it probably to work in Dual-boot modew for ubuntu and windows 8, and I need to create a different partition seprate from the system partitions to store other data on it.
- I tried resizing and creating another partition but I got the error that I only can have 4 primary partitions. and I'm lost in which partition I should delete and which I should keep. and if I deleted one partition I get stuck at creating only one extended partition with two logical partitions within it, but windows will need a primary partition.
- I need to know please what are the best step by step process for me to achieve the goal I mentioned above noticing that this is not a duplicate question because it is specific to my situation.
Thanks a lot.
