I installed Windows 8.1 Preview using the DVD yesterday after wiping off my HDD (I made a backup prior to that). While installing Windows I created only the partitions necessary to install Windows (System Reserved, C: shown in second screenshot). Further I installed Ubuntu 13.04. During Ubuntu installation I created necessary extended partitions (for OS, swap and home directory - all ext4 except swap). Later within Ubuntu I created a NTFS partition at the end (partition 4 in first screenshot). This was a primary partition. The objective behind this was that the partition must be accessible from Windows.  While Ubuntu disk utility reports the partitioning just fine (as below)  Windows disk management is showing all partitions as primary.   Thus within Windows I am able to access only C:! What puzzles me is one can't create so many primary partitions! How can I solve this issue?

Is it really safe to choose the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option from the Ubuntu installation program?  I never used that option, instead I used other tools such as partition magic or windows 7's disk tool to resize my partitions.  Since I'm going to install Ubuntu across a lot windows (XP, Vista and 7) machines. It would not be nice to damage those Windows partitions.  What is your experience? Can I use this feature without concerns?

I am just about to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, just need to make sure I know how to remove it later.  I know from past the major problem was when I removed Ubuntu, I either still got into the GRUB booting menu, or I couldn't boot at all, and had to format HDD and start over. Now I found an article practically saying the Windows loader should be back upon deleting Linux partition, so I want to make sure:  If I have Windows and Ubuntu dualboot, and I want to get back to Windows booting quickly itself without choosing from any booting menu, is it enough to just delete the Ubuntu partition? Will the Windows loader override GRUB?  Thanks!

I installed Ubuntu yesterday alongside Windows 7 and whenever I start my computer I don't have the option to boot Windows. When the computer starts it goes straight to Ubuntu without giving me an OS selection menu. When it goes to Ubuntu it gives me Ubuntu repair options and Ubuntu normal start option. I still have all of the Windows 7 files on my hard drive, but Windows 7 has no way to boot.

I want to triple boot Windows 7, Backtrack, and Ubuntu. Windows and Backtrack are already installed. The problem is that both of them take 4 partitions: 3 for Windows, and 1 for Backtrack. When I try to make another partition, it says I can't have over 4. How can I install Ubuntu with this problem? Note: The 3 Windows partitions are PQSERVICE, SYSTEM RESERVED, and eMachines. I don't really know if I can delete one.

When I reinstall Windows XP by mistake I deleted all five partitions. I did not format them yet though.  How can I recover the partitions? When I attach the hard disk to another PC it just says that the partition is unformated and asks "Would you like to format it?".

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 want to uninstall Ubuntu, so I need to delete its partition.  I saw that many people asked this before. For example: . I followed the instructions there and here's a screenshot of the terminal after typing the suggested command (df):    But this doesn't tell me anything...   This has also been discussed before  and the answer was: EFI and primary. But I have a lot of primary partitions and I'm not sure which one to delete.  Here's a screenshot of Disk Management in Windows:    Here's a GParted screenshot:    So can anybody tell me which the Ubuntu partitions are? (I numbered them from left to right, so to make it easy just tell me numbers please)
