Hi,
I need help. My laptop has 2 80gb disks; until recently one of them had
winxp, and I used Grub. Recently, winxp fatally pissed me off, so I used
gpart (gnome partitioner w/ gui) to erase that partition, but I don't know
what to do with it so it will effectively be added to my existing ubuntu
partition. One unfortunate experiment caused the machine to boot into a
blank screen, which I took care of by disabling the erased disk in the BIOS.
Below is the current geometry (displayed by a command I found online). What
should I do to make it into one, big ubuntu volume?
Thanks!
