How linux partitions (ext4 type) could be merged & converted in to NTFS type Data Partition? (without disturbing existing ntfs partitions)
Friends,
I am seeking your valuable guidance related partitioning the hdd. Actually I have a very little computer/linux knowledge and hence I am expecting detailed stepwise reply.
I have 1 TB HDD in which Ubuntu 14.04 was freshly installed and then it is upgraded to Ubuntu15.10, keeping partitions as under:
/dev/sda
/dev/sda1 ---> ext4 /boot 3GB
/dev/sda3 ---> ext4 / 35GB
/dev/sda4 ---> swap 12GB
/dev/sda7 ---> ext4 160GB
/dev/sda5 ---> ntfs 419GB
/dev/sda6 ---> ntfs 371GB
Now, I have added a 250 GB HDD for Linux O.S. in which I have freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04. Its partitions are maintained as under:
/dev/sda1 ---> ext4, /boot, 3 GB
/dev/sda2 ---> ext4, /, 100 GB
/dev/sda3 ---> Swap, 12 GB
/dev/sda5 ---> ext4, /home, 135 GB
Therefore the O.S (i.e. Ubuntu15.10) in previous 1TB HDD is not required
Now, I want to use the 1TB HDD for Data only. For that, I want to merge & convert /dev/sda1 ---> ext4 /boot 3GB, + /dev/sda3 ---> ext4 / 35GB, + /dev/sda4 ---> swap 12GB, and + /dev/sda7 ---> ext4 160GB in a SINGLE Data Partition of 210 GB of NTFS file system. I mean, the 1 TB hdd, I wish to split into THREE Partitions only ( 210 GB + 416 GB + 371 GB ) and all of NTFS type file system to store my data.
My question is:
How can I merge & convert 3 + 35 + 12 + 160 GB partitions (these are all Linux partitions) in a SINGLE Partition of 210 GB – ntfs type without disturbing 416 GB + 371 GB partitions?
Thanks to all in anticipation.
