Ubuntu

partition error for multi boot system

Asked by WLT666

I just installed "UBUNTU " on my computer, I thought it was inside Windows 7 desktop; to create multi boot system but it installed along side instead. When it did this it created a new partition on my hard drive only a little bigger bigger that itself; therefore am unable to install new downloads or access my other OS without rebooting. DO I have to un-install the system or enlarge the partition to download files? I would prefer to create a true multi desktop enviorment with access to either OS WITHOUT REBOOTING. I'm a beginner at this so would prefer a simple way to achieve this without becoming full blown programmer to do this. Any help would be thankfully received. I can be contacted at <email address hidden>. If there is a hyper link address to download a "Partition Manager Program", that will work I would appreciate that hyper link to be included in your response.Thanks again for any and all help received in this problem.

Hello,

from Windows you can access to EXT2 / EXT3 linux partitions using:
 * http://www.fs-driver.org/
 * http://www.ext2fsd.com/

from Ubuntu you can access to NTFS windows partitions with the Ubuntu Desktop

If you want to run multiple Operative Systems at the same time, you can Virtualice One of them using VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/)
