Please someone tell me if I can run off of my External hard drive!!
nice thxz, in future it will be useful =]
This made it so much simpler, I asked a friends about it and he gave me this long response where everything was utterly confusing and I didn’t understand any of it. This made it so much easier. Thank you.
YEAH TY FOR VID
can you help me? i have a 250gb hdd and i want to shrink 20gb of it for another os, but it will only let me shrink 466mb, i already have a recovery drive that is 12gb, what do i do?
This will work for all versions of ubuntu for all who are asking.
dang ur pc is slow
does this work with ubuntu 9.04?
this video was extremely helpful for me- I’m not incredibly good with computers but this made everything very easy to understand
Thank you for the help, it worked great for me
it sau\ys 0 mb are available to be shrinked! wat do i do?
i think wubi would be lot easier
yes u can run it on the cd
dude your computer is slow. must be a Pentium D
what it cost 300 dollars no offensive just sayin and your bios is pretty old lookin
Does this work with Ubuntu 8.10?
how do i do it its a hp laptop compaq 1 it h8s it
can u just use the cd without installing it ubuntu
i want 2 switch between the 2 wen i take my laptop in school i can tease my i.t. teacher and the head of i.t. lol
mate i couldnt see ur computer screen like the text and stuff lolz
haha your comp sux.
A custom built rig, um, E2160 processor, some cheap ram (2GB of it), a gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 motherboard, the NZXT hush case, and a cheap 500GB HDD. Oh, and a 8600GT GPU.
Why? If you mean OS, i have vista home premium. It doesnt support dynamic disks, so sometimes that stops me from trying to partition, other times it just continues to load indefinately, for hours maybe. And i’ve tried it on the command prompt, still doesnt work there.
outrageousmayo what kind of computer did you buy
Great tutorial. However, my HDD doesn’t want to shrink it’s volume (crappy, cheap HDD wtf!) so i think i’ll just use wubi. Still, great guide.
When I’m portioning the drive what exactly do I do? I click on free space, create new partition, choose 20GB for use for the Ubuntu, from there what do I do?
Thanks. Can you tell me if i wanted to go back to vista like single boot how do i do it should i just delete the allocated space im not being very clear, i mean if i wanted just vista on no other OS should i just delete the partitioned part of the hard drive if you understand me ?
