Re: Finally switched to linux... what now?
Ubuntu does NOT require you to setup a share partition...
all it needs are 3 partitions, 1 for boot (i keep that one separate)
1 for swap
1 for /
boot - about 100mb
swap - i keep around 1024-2048 though i have completely not used swap at all before
/ - as much space as you care to give it
only thing is that your boot partition can not be a logical partition, and has to have a boot flag
for mount points, make sure boot mounts in /boot, slash in / and swap is swap
for file systems, keep boot ext2 or ext3, swap will be swap, / can be ext3, but i recommend reiserfs
do not touch the windows partitions, if you need to resize them, make sure you defrag them before hand, then gparted will resize them without any risk of loosing data, but remembering that you already have ubuntu installed, this should not be a problem.
if you need to make a partition to share data (one you can read an write to from both windowses and linux, make a partition with fat file system on it, all 3 OSes can freely read/write to it...
