Hi,
perhaps Richard just refers to my advice to mount Windows, taking a
look at it and if wanted, to copy data, before formatting the
Windows partition to ext4.
Todo
====
All in one, in a sane order, so you could ignore all previous advices
(assuming I have not forgotten an important advice ;).
Richard, by all means run
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l linux*|grep -v $(uname -r|sed "s/[[:alpha:]]//g;s/.$//g;s/-/./g")|grep -v base|grep -v firmware|grep ii|cut -d" " -f3)
As already pointed out, the purge might not be required, but clean and
autoremove are needed, to ensure that the install can be used without
running out of space, to e.g. migrate to another partition, which would
be one possibility, you/we could do.
Run
grep linux /boot/grub/grub.cfg > /tmp/grubcfg.txt
and attach
/tmp/grubcfg.txt
and
/etc/fstab
to an email, this most likely will help us, what are all those Linux
partitions good for.
Run
sudo apt-get update
to update your package index, after that execute
sudo apt-get install gparted
to install one of the most used partitioning tools with a GUI.
Launch gparted
sudo gparted
select "/dev/sda1 ntfs" with the mouse. Right-click and select "Format
to" and chose "ext4". On top push click "Apply" and continue. Perhaps
it asks for confirmation, but everything that follows should be
self-explaining.
When finished post the output of
blkid /dev/sda1
What we already know about your install is attached.
Regards,
Ralf</pre>
