partitioning - How to manage hard drive partition? - Ask Ubuntu
i have many blank partition in hard drive want combine make single large partition , make if ntfs. please tell me procedure..and have "extended" partition..don't know means..but want make partition ntfs..please me!
partitions contain file systems. there many operations can on these partitions. recommend have @ gparted.
sudo apt-get install gparted gparted
the exteneded partition particular kind of container can contain more partitions. in partition table schemes, there room 4 partitions. need have more caused evolution making 1 of these "extended" partition contains more partitions. newer partitioning schemes (gpt) limitation overcome.
however, propose, fuse contents of different partitions single partition difficult , depends on kind of file systems these partitions hold. if different kinds of file systems (for example ext4 , fat32), it's not practical fuse them together.
your best bet buy new hard drive, large enough hold contents of file systems on old drive. create 1 large partition on new drive, format chosen file system (ext4, btrfs, etc.) , copy entire contents of older drive's file systems.
