I have made partition in my laptop using Vista computer management tools - C ( Windows ), D ( for Data ) and F( for linux ), the idea was to create separate disk for linux and a disk for DATA, which can be used from both systems.<br />Then i started to install Ubuntu on disk F, everything was ok.<br />Then i restarted my laptop and rebooted to Vista, i saw the following - the disk F was still there, but shrinked - ( 3G ), and Ubuntu created two separated disk, i did not like this and decided to eliminate this strange small disks. After doing this i restarted and got on my screen something like this:<br />GRUB loading, please wait ...<br />Error 17<br />now i can not boot in any of systems ( nor Vista, nor Ubuntu ) .<br />What can i do in this situation ???<br />I will greatly appreciate any help...<br />Andrey i have a problem, i tried to follow instructions.

I will recommend formatting it.

Going forward, if you want to setup separate Home, then you will have to further decide how much you wanna keep for Home (keep more), Swap (double of your RAM size) and rest should be pretty straight forward.

BTW, I think in Vista, I don’t get any compress option, it is called Shrink in it.

Thanks

Let us say I have 2 partitions on my Windows System one for OS and one for data. Where do I choose to "install" Ubuntu ? let us say I do not want to mess with C AND I have Plenty of space on D (More than the required 10 GB) Do I "compress" !!! D or I just go ahead and select D. Are you getting the drift here !!! Do I have to "shrink" the volume... You see, you are unconsciously using Linux lingo talking to a windows people You used Volume instead of partition and used shrink instead of compress. Two lines is all what you need to talk to a windows guy or gal. Coming from the Windows world I am a bit uncomfortable.
