Thread: Lost in Ubuntu installation

-

i want install ubuntu 11.04 along current windows xp installation , trying figure out following:

1. how recognize relationship between windows disk drive letters , linux disk drive indicators /dev/sda/

2. how configure multi boot?

3. place linux swap file?

4. linux filesystem best general use?

specifics:

pair of identical seagate sata2 80gb drives partitioned in windows follows:

drive 0 ntfs
c: 25gb windows boot drive used 10gb os & software, no data.
d: 25gb used 3gb documents data
z: 25gb used 20gb data

drive 1 ntfs
m: 25gb used 12gb data
l: 25gb used 3gb data
k: 25gb empty

when looking through ubuntu installation configured,
assume drive 0 /dev/sda have 3 partitions sda1, sda5, sda3. drive 1 /dev/sdb partitions sdb1, sdb5, sdb3 , not sure corresponds windows drive letters.

dedicate empty drive k: linux installation, swap space & data, , use minimal amount of space of drive c: dual boot.

advice appreciated.

+to check disk/partitions
use live cd , go menubar > system > administration > gparted
, you'll see 2 drivers 0,1 rispective partitions

or open terminal menubar > accessories> terminal , type

code:
sudo fdisk -l
(i not sure if live cd need sudo .. in case)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

+installation:
easiest way installing automatially ubuntu win in first disk (with swap partition) , after installation use gparted format free space in second disk ext2 or ext3. both similar, second 1 has journal make disk-checking faster.and use partition saving data or media.
