I’ve searched and I can’t really find the answer I’m looking for.
I’ve been dual booting SUSE 11.1 and Vista 64 and I’m ready to get rid of Vista, plus the vista partitions are eating up 110GB. So what would be the best way to re-partition. Here’s what I have…
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xd5e46488
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1530 12288000 27 Unknown
/dev/sda2 1530 15967 115960832 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 15967 21267 42572250 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 * 21268 30401 73368855 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 21268 21529 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 21530 24140 20972826 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 24141 30401 50291451 83 Linux
While I haven’t done this myself I can’t think of a reason you couldn’t
just recreate the NTFS partitions as something else entirely using fdisk
or the Yast Partitioner tool. Have a backup of your Grub settings and
possibly your MBR but otherwise I can’t think of anything else to worry
about. You could even leave those as NTFS, mount then read/write, and
then wipe out the files and still use them purely for storage.
Good luck.
