how do i manage partitions
Seriously, my (ex) boyfriend partitioned my computer which has a total of 320 GB. My computer -an acer 4810t crashed during an upgrade and i just finally got it to boot 12.04 from a disc and i love the interface but there were errors when trying to install and in the end the install menu only gave me the choice to erase the previous version or erase everything. I didnt want to lose the photos and music which exist in a partition which is 86 GB-so i chose to erase the previous version but now it seems there is only 13 GB in the partition i have to use with this version-I guess it created another partition when it installed the new version-I dont know. I'm not too good with all this computer language- so i am wondering if someone can explain in laymens terms how i figure out what is in each partition and how i can actually have all my pics and music and all in one place? I dont understand why i can't use some of this other space. Here is a screenshot of disk utility that shows how the drive is partitioned(if it works to post it this way):
ok, don't know how to do that, i do have it on my desktop-just not sure how to share in this forum.
