I was attempting to install Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS for the very first time without help from a tutorial and I managed to somehow install Ubuntu on my intel optane memory instead of my hard drive.   When I look at the disks, my hard drive "Acer" comes up as a removable drive - when it is a hard drive installed into the laptop.  I am wondering if it is possible to change my file-system location to my internal hard drive as my optane memory is only a small capacity.

Does Ubuntu 17.10.1 with Linux 4.13 kernel support the Intel Optane Memory for the purpose of dual booting with Windows 10?   states that Linux is not supported and only Windows 10 64-bit is.

I installed a dual boot of Ubuntu 16.04 (Windows being my other OS) two months ago to try it out. I want to allot more space to it on my hard drive. I was looking up tutorials, and I noticed that my filesystem names don't look anything like those in the tutorials. For example:  df -h   outputs:    How would I allot more space to Ubuntu (in layman's terms)?

Basically what I want to do is install a fresh copy of Ubuntu from Ubuntu. It is an older machine so usb boot doesn't work and I don't see why I need to waste a CD to do it. Currently running Ubuntu 11.10.  I have a 1TB drive and a second 500GB drive for backup. The 1TB drive is partitioned as:  20GB   sda1 Windows XP 20GB   sda3 Free for new OS  ~800GB sda4 Data (ext3) 60GB   sda7 /home (ext4) 20GB   sda6 / (ubuntu 11.10 ext4) 2GB    sda5 swap   After researching I decided that using unetbootin was the best option. I chose Hard Disk (frugal install) and the only option for which disk is "/". That worked and I quickly rebooted into Ubuntu 12.04 live.   Chose to install and picked custom options, set sda3 for / and sda7 for /home. The installer started but hit a wall at detecting other operating systems. It was trying to mount sda6 to find out about the existing os's on the machine, for the purpose of installing grub. And it couldn't umount sda6 because that was currently mounted as cd drive for live cd. I couldn't find an option to make the installer skip this step (I could later fix the grub in 11.10).  I have another drive with 4GB free partition and if I could get unetbootin to install to there it would all work.  So my question is - how do I get unetbootin to install to a different disk for hard-disk install? (I don't think USB Drive mode will work because it will install the grub to that disk -  but I might be wrong!)  or  How to fresh install Ubuntu from Ubuntu?

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 onto my Acer Aspire E15. The PC has a 500 Gigabyte HDD.   During the installation it divided the HDD into separate partitions. However every time I turn on the PC it goes directly into Windows 8.1. It doesn't allow you the opportunity to select which OS you want to use.   Question 1: How do I set the PC so it will allow me to select the OS?  Question 2: And if #1 isn't possible. How to I remove Ubuntu from the PC and recover the partition for Windows

I have Ubuntu installed on a drive. The problem is it is running low on disk space. This is installed on vmware. I expanded the virtual drive and booted into ubuntu. But when I opened gparted(sudo gparted), the move/resize option is unavailable. This is the partition Ubuntu is installed on, but I need to resize it. Any ideas? I am comfortable using command line

Recently purchased a new Windows 8 PC.  It came with one hard drive.  I want to a second hard drive to it.  This second hard drive is my data hard drive from my previous computer.  However, I have run into issues when the system accesses it.  The drive is found in the BIOS. But is not seen by Explorer or Disk Management.  I have added the drive to the next available SATA slot:  SATA 2.  The machine is a UEFI/ACHI based machine.  In my reading I have found people documenting the following:  1) adding multiple partitioned hard drives (like mine is) to UEFI based machines is not  possible 2) I have seen it suggested that you can only add blank hard drives to UEFI based machines.  However, in doing so, I did not have success.  I tried to add it as a hard drive with unallocated space and then as a hard drive with a single simple partition.  Both attempts failed.  My ultimate question:  What is the proper procedure for adding a second hard drive to a UEFI/ACHI machine?  I do not want to reinstall the OS and start from scratch as I have seen suggested elsewhere.  There has to be a way to accomplish this without all that hassle.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Thus is a picture of both of my hard-drives:    My C Drive and my D drive. I want to put Ubuntu onto my D Drive. Now my question here is if i do install onto my D Drive then how should I do it in order to retain use of the drive. I intend to partition about 60 gigs from it. Now after doing that I should still have about 830 gigs left. I want to still be able to use that in Windows. So how and will I be able to retain use of the drive after Installing? I have installed once before and I believe i did it wrong because not only could Windows not recognize my D drive but I also lost all the data on it.   My computer is a Lenovo Y700 It is a UEFI (I believe i got that right).

I have Windows 7 installed in my PC. In a failed attempt to create a partition my disk has been converted to dynamic including system and boot volumes. How can I install Ubuntu in a partition without affecting the Windows system?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.10 on a new not partitioned HDD (using a VMWare machine). I try with manual partitioning to create the EFI System Partition but there is no EFI System Partition option (or other option containing the EFI word). I tried with 100M, 300M, 500M, 512M sizes but no luck. What's the solution for this?  PS: the similar question related to Ubuntu 15.10 doesn't help

I want to install a new Ubuntu on a drive where a previous Ubuntu system is already installed beside Windows7.  The first option says that only Ubuntu will be replaced.   The second says that all will be erased.  I only want Ubuntu replaced with the  new one while keeping Windows7 untouched.  Is the first option (“Erase Ubuntu16.10 and reinstall”) the good one in this case?

I started installing Ubuntu by watching a video tutorial about doing a disk partition installation, for that, inside Windows' 7 own disk partitioning tool. After a defrag I cut 100GB that I pretended to use on my Ubuntu installation for a little try out, now, while installing, I never really chose where I wanted Ubuntu to be installed, so I guess it just made a partition by itself of the minimum that the installation tells you it needs.  How can I now give the other 92 GB I had left apart only for that task?  Here's what my partitions look like now.     Here's a df:    And here's the GParted tool un ubuntu:

I want to choose where on a hard drive the application is stored when installing it via Ubuntu Software Center. I am not looking for a general setting for all applications, but rather I would like to set the exact folder on hard drive where the currently installed applications will be stored. Also is it a problem to store the application to a NTFS partition?

I have two hard drives. One is used for Windows and one is empty. I want to install Ubuntu on the empty hard drive. The Windows hard drive is disk0 in Windows and the empty hard drive is disk1. When I install Ubuntu and it asks where I want to install it, I choose "Something Else" but I am stuck there. What do I choose for "boot loader installation"?

I already have Windows XP, During installing Ubuntu(dual boot) the disk drive just stuck up at one place and doesn't seem to move ahead.. Is there a disk bad sector mark utility that just marks these sectors so that the disk doesn't seek them later. I tried running Seagate Seatools on the drive but both the short test and long test fail even before they start even chkdsk /f/r doesn't seem to work as the system locks up at stage four.

I think my Ubuntu is a bit broken from messing around with it.  Unfortunately during installation, I did not make a separate partition for /home. Now I need to re-install but want to keep my music and films.  Any ideas...

New Ubuntu user here... I have Ubuntu on my 250GB SSD and I have another 500GB on my laptop that Ubuntu can't find. I'm not sure where or how to start finding it.
