I've created a bootable usb and I'm getting ready to install ubuntu 13.10 to dual-boot with Windows 7. The problem is I don't know how to deal with my partitions.
I have 4 primary partitions on my HDD already (recovery, boot, and 2 that are unnamed and I can't explore). Which one of the latter 2 would I use to create an extended partition with unallocated space using gparted?? How do I find out. I've been googling this for hours and I just don't know how to do this in an informed manner and safely. I just can't find the answer.
Thanks to all that can help!!
Update:
ok looking at it from the Linux end the last two are hidden partitions and I can see that they are not empty. One is called HDDRECOVERY. Not sure how to proceed. Can I back up the files in those partitions and then extend one and delete the other?
