This might seem like an ignorant question, but then again I am ignorant of
partitioning. I was reading up on how to do this for an Ubuntu install and
the instructions showed how to partition an HD that has Windows on it. The
size of the HD was 30GB, and they partitioned the Windows part to have
10GB (and 20GB is 'free space').
So my question is, what exactly gets put into that 10GB of space? Where do
your other files go? If I have, for example, movies or music that takes up
more than 10GB of space, does this mean I can't create a partition that
small, or does it go somewhere else?
Thanks.
if you use a utility to *resize* a partition
you of course must make the partition *larger* than the amount of data you
have
.
