directory and system volume name question

if you need more info on the file tree let me know

Linux doesn't have a 'C: drive' That is a windows construct. What do you want to achieve and we can advise.

Thanks

i want to consolitdate these C: D: a,d Z: areas just so i have them all in one place and i can use wine to install my windows programs on the same "volume". that way i dont have to go to the "C:" drive to get my windows programs.

then delete the partitions in the installer then install Ubuntu to the new freed space (This will destroy the data).

you mean delete the C: d: and z: folders then reinstall ubuntu? if so can you show/tell me where to find everything i installed so i can make a partition to put my files on first

also is it safe to delete the toshiba system volume? it is what shows up first and allows me to select which drive to boot off first

Brian,

Where are you seeing these C: D: and Z: drives?

From your original question your drives are

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x2e9a647b

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 3074047 1536000 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda3 * 3074048 299997183 148461568 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 299999230 312580095 6290433 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 299999232 312580095 6290432 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Thats one drive with 4 partitions 3 on which are Linux sda3, sda4 and sda5 and the other is a recovery partition.

If you have removed Windows then how can you see a C:, D: or Z: drive Not in Linux because Linux doesn't use this convention unless you are looking under Wine in which case these are not real drives

home/.wine/dosdevices/
this is the file tree

c:
>program files
>users
>windows
d:
>boot
>casper
>dists
>install
>isolinux
>pics
>pool
>preseed
>ubuntu
>autorun.inf
>md5sum.txt
>readme.diskdefines
>wubi.exe
z:
>bin
>boot
>cdrom
>dev
>etc
>home
>lib
>lost+found
>media
>mnt
>opt
>proc
>root
>run
>sbin
>selinux
>srv
>sys
>tmp
>usr
>var
>initrd.img
>initrd.img.old
>vmlinuz
>vmlinuz.old

ok turns out d: was a dvd i had, Z: is the ubuntu, and i dont know why C: is there i guess its for wine but its all part of the same partition.
