I have an HP TouchSmart^310 PC with Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 7 on it. I know that every computer can have four primary partitions. This is what I get with sudo fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 testine, 63 settori/tracce, 121601 cilindri, totale 1953525168 settori
Unità = settori di 1 * 512 = 512 byte
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Identificativo disco: 0xe9bc6db9
Dispositivo Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 * 206848 1518526463 759159808 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 1518528510 1910609919 196040705 5 Esteso
/dev/sda4 1910609920 1953521663 21455872 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda5 1518528512 1902747647 192109568 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 1902749696 1910609919 3930112 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2 is Windows 7 with label OS, /dev/sda4 is Ubuntu with no label and /dev/sda4 is the HP RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT. But I can't figure what is /dev/sda1: every time I boot my PC, in GRUB I can see:
- Ubuntu
- Ubuntu with advanced settings
- Windows 7
- Windows 8 (???)
- HP Recovery Environment
I don't know if Windows needs /dev/sda1 for booting, or is the partition I left there when I installed the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I'm asking this because I need to create another partition, neither I want to convert to GPT. Can I remove /dev/sda1?
