[01:27] <locodir-user_> hi
[01:29] <pleia2> hi there
[01:30] <locodir-user_> I had a question regarding ubuntu
[01:30] <locodir-user_> I currently have a windows 7 with 3 partitions on my hdd with windows on C:
[01:31] <locodir-user_> Can I format C and install just ubuntu on it and keep and access my data on D and E?
[01:31] <pleia2> I haven't run a dual boot system in over a decade, but perhaps someone else here can help you, or you can ask in #ubuntu
[01:31] <locodir-user_> And will I be able to write data to D and E after installing ubuntu?
[01:32] <pleia2> as far as I know, that should work fine, Linux should be able to read all Windows filesystems
[01:32] <locodir-user_> I do not want to run dual boot. Hopefully wipe off windows and just run ubuntu from C
[01:33] <locodir-user_> will I be able to write to the other partitions after installing ubuntu?
[01:33] <pleia2> unless they are some strange filesystem type, yes, Ubuntu can read/write to the standard filesystem types Windows uses
[01:34] <locodir-user_> awesome. I think they are formatted in NTFS
[01:34] <pleia2> yeah, that's no problem :)
[01:34] <locodir-user_> thanks for your help.
[01:34] <pleia2> sure, have fun!
[01:35] <locodir-user_> I will!
[01:35] <locodir-user_> bye
[21:42] <lynorian> trying to practice a presentation and then you don't want to lose your voice from practicing is something I should have had more foresight about
