I have fully functional Windows and Ubuntu that is broken (I accidentally broke it) and want to reinstall Ubuntu. With Live-CD, I can see:
- 3 NTFS partitions,
- one ext4 and
- one unknown.
How do I find out which partitions belong to Windows? I thought that I might delete everything that wasn't NTFS, but I was afraid. Now I am using the Install Ubuntu alongside [existing systems]... option, but I guess that this will leave my broken Ubuntu untouched. So, again, I need to know which partitions to merge (perhaps add partitions of broken Ubuntu to new Ubuntu?).
Please, how can I learn how my system is divided? Thanks a lot.
ext4
partition belongs to Linux, and theNTFS
partitions belong to Windows. Deleting theext4
partition should not affect any of the other partitions, the unknown partition included. If you're getting this information from the LiveCD install set up, try using the 'Try' option and install GParted to take a closer look at your partitions.
