Thread: Tried installing Ubuntu, failed, now I'm missing 50GB

-

i tried installing ubuntu 11.10 on new laptop (hp pavilion dv6-6b20se). didn't want complete re-install , pre-partitioning hard disk, tried shrinking main ntfs partition (which 620gb + recovery , system partitions) , partitioning unallocated space, using ubuntu setup. showed 50gb tried shrink unusable allocate, expanded ntfs partition original size. not wanting give up, tried again. again, said unusable, expanded again. after rebooting, , booting in win7, noticed 50gb missing c: partition. cannot found disk manager or gparted.

can post image of disk management and/or gparted?

can't go missing. maybe it's left unallocated space not belonging partition.

hp ships laptops 4 primary partitions used. that's why if have unallocated space, ubuntu can't install because 4 primary partitions maximum, can't create more.

, don't try many times, can trouble.

can consider deleting 1 of restore or hp tools partition. never delete system reserved partition of win7. can create restore dvds restore software on laptop , don't need restore partition more. plus can use space if delete it.

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
