So, I bought this computer recently, and immediately dual-booted Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with it. The other day, unfortunately, I ran out of the mere 20 or so gigs alloted to me (out of about 700). I'd like to repartition more space, but I'm running into a bit of trouble. I found this instruction:
How do I remove windows but keep Ubuntu?
but ran into problems when it came to booting from the flash. It's just not recognizing the flash in my boot menu. I know that the flash works, I should add, because my girlfriend just used it twice for both of her machines. I'm sure that it's now obvious that I am sorely ignorant of this system admin stuff, so I'm not even sure if this is the best way to go about it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
I should add for anyone else having trouble: The process can take quite a bit of time. I changed my allotment from 20 gigs or so to 400, and after over three hours without progress updates, fell asleep. With the process being finished in the morning, I was able to following the rest of the steps and confirm that it worked before breakfast. Thanks again.
