It's GPT.Â I want to keep Windows.Â There's no Windows recovery partition. What's a system image partition?Â thanks, Thufir </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 4:15 AM, Liam Proven <<a href="mailto:lproven@gmail.com" target="_blank">lproven@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On 13 December 2016 at 11:34, thufir <<a href="mailto:hawat.thufir@gmail.com">hawat.thufir@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > What does "normally" mean in relation to partitioning? It means, do whatever you want as long as you leave the special FAT-format EFI System Partition alone. It's the one at the start of the disk. As for the rest, for more detail, well, you have not told us enough. How is the disk partitioned at the moment? Is it GPT or MBR? Do you want to keep Windows? Do you have a Windows recovery partition? Do you have a system image partition? Do you want to keep them too? If it's MBR, my recommenation is always: [ESP] [Windows primary] { Extended partition (Ubuntu root) (Ubuntu home) (Ubuntu swap) } {} denotes the extended partition () denotes logical drives If it's GPT there are no primary/extended/logical partitions any more. There are just partitions, all equal. In which case, I suggest: [ ESP ] [ Windows ] [ Ubuntu root ] [ Ubuntu home ] [ Ubuntu swap ] -- Liam Proven â€¢ Profile: <a href="https://about.me/liamproven" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://about.me/liamproven</a> Email: <a href="mailto:lproven@cix.co.uk">lproven@cix.co.uk</a> â€¢ Google Mail/Talk/Plus: <a href="mailto:lproven@gmail.com">lproven@gmail.com</a> Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven â€¢ Skype/LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven UK: <a href="tel:%2B44%207939-087884" value="+447939087884">+44 7939-087884</a> â€¢ ÄŒR/WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal: <a href="tel:%2B420%20702%20829%20053" value="+420702829053">+420 702 829 053</a> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> </div>
