Fwd: Re: Ubuntu 12.10, separate drive to Win - manual partitioning, feedback please

[David]

Thanks Bevin.

There's the 2TB drive listed as dev/sdc, then dev/sdc1 listed as
'Windows boot loader', and then dev/sdc2. The 2TB Windows drive was put
in the computer first and the 1.5 TB drive for Ubuntu was added later.
In Windows disk management the 2TB drive is listed as disk0, then the
500Gb one as disk1, and the 1.5TB one as disk2.

30Gb for home: have I maybe got things the wrong way round - should it
be a 10-30 Gb allocation for /root, and all the rest of the disk given
over to /home except for the swap area?

A couple of little thoughts.



Are you sure Windows is on sdc?  Windows tends to get pretty upset if
it isn't on partition 1, disk 1.
30 Gig sounds like a lot for /home, but remember that by defaults all
your video, pictures, music and downloads will try and land there.
I'm afraid I can't help with the more complicated bits.
