Antes de entrar em minha consulta exata, aqui está um pequeno prólogo dizendo o que eu basicamente entendo sobre qualquer disco rígido.
May be some 6 years ago, many as a million notebook computers, mine was also manufactured by the Compaq Computer Corporation. After some transportation process, it could have got a place in an Indian Computer Showroom from where my lovable sister bought it for me. She did gift-packed it then. When I opened it I was flying for a Presario notebook was mine from then. It was installed with a windows OS. My HDD understanding has its appropriate roots from here.
Before the OS being installed, my HDD would have got only a single partition. Let the following be the picture of it. (the unused fresh HDD storage area is a rectangle only for an understanding purpose! - also remember, whenever i use grey shade it is to denote the unallocated free space in the HDD)
When the windows OS installation is done on my HDD, it had been into 4 partitions (for example). It had got a C: , D: , E: , F: and it would have got some reserved space by the OS (may be for the virtual RAM purpose - it is coloured in pink here - forget about it - i don't know much about virtual memory - so i won't be speaking about the pink partition - please don't mind it). And now the picture will be,
Not much were done then until I got my hands over that Presario. After getting it, I installed plenty of software packages, created vast amount files and folders. And I never used the F partition by that time. (i was always wanting to install ubuntu into my system - so i purposefully preserved the F partition - later about this)
As my usage of the computer device got increased I took it wherever I went. I never cared about virus and spyware and was letting all my pals to connect my notebook with their usbs, mobile phones, unsecured networks, etc etc. . . My system's speed was messed up. It behaved crazily at times like opening hundreds of browser screens within seconds. I sought for an advice. My professor said my to delete my C partition and reinstall the OS. (so virus and spyware must always ruin C partition for their existence in windows based computers - correct me if i am wrong)
Before deleting the C partition the picture would have been like this. (reddened area be the malware residences - blackened area be the used space)
After I have formatted my C partition it would be like
Finally I had got out of all those virus troubles after reinstalling the windows OS along with an antivirus package. The HDD would have like the following pic.
After a little from here, I learnt about installing ubuntu without damaging the windows. I deleted the F partition so that it gave me some unallocated space inside the HDD. I placed my ubuntu over there. (the orange area in my pic - still, don't mind the pinky :D )
Now when I use windows it won't get into the ubuntu space. (if i am right). And when I use ubuntu the windows partitions will be handled as mountable drives as shown beneath. (the image shows more windows partitions as i created such many partitions - i was using C, D, E names here just for example purpose)
So that's all about the prologue. Lemme come to my question.
Agora quero mudar para o Ubuntu completamente. Quer dizer, eu quero me livrar do sistema operacional Windows completamente. Então, o que devo fazer agora? Espero que isso não afete meus arquivos de partição D e E. Está tudo bem para formatar a partição C do Ubuntu. Ou isso afetará meu sistema operacional Ubuntu também (no caso de meu entendimento sobre o disco rígido estar errado)? Como exatamente eu preciso desinstalar o Windows?
Também tenho usado o VirtualBox para usar o Android x86 via Windows. Agora eu tenho um VHD android em uma partição. Será afetado se eu desinstalar o Windows? Caso não seja afetado, será possível reutilizar o VHD instalando o virtualbox no meu Ubuntu?
A imagem a seguir é o que o Assistente de Partição do AOMEI diz sobre o meu HDD. Como você pode ver os diferentes tipos de sistemas de arquivos na imagem, os métodos de alocação devem diferir entre o windows e o ubuntu.
Tudo isso está bagunçando minha mente. Desde que instalei o ubuntu a partir das minhas janelas, agora eu suspeito que o Ubuntu seja um pacote de software (apenas uma diferença é que é um software de sistema) tendo alguma associação com a partição C. Este consumo acabou de desmoronar minha mente. Se isso for verdade, então o que eu disse depois do material da partição F não será mais confiável. E a formatação da partição C pode quase travar meu sistema.
A coluna de status da imagem AOMEI reivindica que apenas a partição C seja inicializável. Isso adiciona muito efeito de assombração. Agora tenho duas perguntas.
- Onde o Ubuntu será instalado na unidade?
- Quais áreas do disco rígido serão afetadas se eu formatar minhas janelas de partição / desinstalação C?
