Thread: Another dumb partitioning question-

-

here's drive looks (see attached screen capture)-

can see, sda1 way big. sda2 vista partition, hardly use (but can't kill- yet), , it's bit big too, not bad. sda3 /home partition. there anyway shrink sda1 , add sda3?? have make images of disk, blank it- over, , write images onto new partitions? scares me bit... anyway, thanks...


interesting side note, btw- compare sizes of vista , ubuntu install. i'm apt-get ***** too, install , sounds cool, , it's 7gigs, compared base install of vista's 30gigs...and that's w/o ms office installed either. vista home premium, , ff, anti-virus, malware, , lgihtroom, etc..

yes, not within normal environment. can't change partition that's mounted, , / partition mounted if you're running gparted it. use live cd; either ubuntu install disk or gparted live cd.

don't need nuke them. shrink them , shuffle them along.

might need use windows' own partitioning tool resize ntfs partition. ntfs still microsoft's secret sauce. or people wrote gparted suggest:

when resizing boot ntfs partitions, advisable perform single operation only. after resizing, boot windows twice allow windows perform checking operations.

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi

Smoothing Capacitor value?

hi everyone! i have question "smoothing capacitors". have 5v arduino project have 6 individual 5v components attached it. since need these running @ different times, wanted take similar approach of nick gammon's in helpful example (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12106) , use few mosfets switch these little guys on & off individually (instead of regular arduino pins), while minimizing potential power surges affect microcontroller and/or components themselves. these components 5v, , have maximum draw of ~170ma when powered on @ same time. so, if used 6 different mosfet switches turn switch +5v power line on each component directed via arduino uno, wondering: 1. still use 1 capacitor (like nick did in example)? 2. capacitor of 100uf work, or should use bigger? my plan first test circuit mosfets & capacitor(s) using usb, , later on, moving project battery power. thanks in advance ideas & suggestions! quote these little guys what ...
