GParted partitioning software - Full tutorial
No matter which operating system you want to have installed on your machine, there's one thing they all have in common: partitions. These are logical pieces of your actual hard disk space, defining the size and the file system format for the operating systems and data that are going to be placed on them.
Being able to control the partitions is one of the most basic, most important aspects of mastering your operating system. If you have the knowledge and confidence to manipulate the layout, create it, change it or delete it, you can adapt your hardware to your varying needs, without having to blindly rely on default setups defined by vendors or other people.
After completing this tutorial, you will have learned how to interpret the partitioning dictionary, what the strange symbols, letters and numbers mean. You will have learned how to create partitions or edit existing ones, including changing their filesystem, size, type, or structure. Most importantly, you will have learned how to read existing setups, be they Linux, Windows or something else.
Never again you shall fear using partitioning software or installing operating systems on hard disks already containing data. After this tutorial, you will know how to handle partitioning with genuine knowledge.
