Switching HDD's

Asked by Ben Duncan

I've installed Linux (Saying that I wanted a dual boot done), but I've given Ubuntu my external hard drive. Is there any way to uninstall ubuntu and put it onto the C drive rather than the F?

Yes, there is.

In Ubuntu, please run this command:

df -h; echo; mount; echo; sudo fdisk -l; echo; sudo parted -l

You may be prompted for your password. As you enter it, you won't see any placeholder characters, like *. That's OK--just type it in and press enter.

Then select all the text in the Terminal (Edit > Select All), copy it to the clipboard (Edit > Copy), and paste it here. That should provide the necessary information to make it possible to give detailed advice specific to your situation.

How did that help? The command I gave you just prints out some information--it does not actually make any change to your system...

Yeah... Well, I kind of... Err...

Forget excuses, I didn't run that at all, but I just took out my external hard drive and installed it from there on. Sorry.
But, as well as looking a fool, I would like for you to take the thank you as a thank you for everything you've done to help me and everyone else, you've been an excellent help to me through the worries of changing my OS.

So, it's a thank-you for everything.

However you solved your problem, I'm glad you were able to get Ubuntu working as you liked! I'm glad to help, though as I mentioned I think I didn't have much of a role in this particular problem's resolution.
