By default (from factory):
C:\ is Windows partition (220GB)
D:\ is RECOVERY (13GB)
E:\ is HP Tools (99MB)

since the C is too large, thus i wanna shrink it, after i successfully shrink it, then i go format the new "Unallocated Partition" (to create New Simple Volume), but it pop out the problem as below...





any ideas??

You could simply adjust it from BIOS itself in order to delay the auto skip BIOS

You can't adjust C:\ partition because it's being used for Windows.
If you want to adjust partition C:\, you'll have to start from the beginning: Windows Installation AKA Format.

Yeah and when you install ubuntu on it, it will destroy the MBF for that partition itself. making the recovery parttion useless

hey~
had you guy try on the streamyz zone ?? why i can not even access to the login website !! the signal in full strength man ~~

download from HP website!

i got this too.

cannot adjust . if i m really wan try ubuntu then need to format all c drive already

Heard of wubi , google for it , download. You can install ubuntu and keep windows. Dont like ubuntu , simply remove it from windows. You still preserve your MBR , recovery partition and everything else.

Easier this way rather then you going through a complicated method

thanks for the advise prasys ,

allready download the ubuntu installer .

gonna try it later

Go to C:/ > SwSetup

Backup that entire folder, it will be your drivers.

yeap . even u can unallocated it. you cannot make new partition .
tested already

Anyone got this problem? The power adapter will just simply shut itself off suddenly regardless the switch is on.

Just shut off and the netbook will run on battery. Apparently mine just shut off itself lol

that weird .

==


mine now running on Ubuntu netbook edition with the help of wubi that recommend by prasys

it'll shut off when ur battery 100% charged...i think...

well, I left it there for so many days and it didn't shut off.

Then sometimes it just shut off itself out of randomness.

And I am still download Ubuntu ._. internet speed very slow orz

I used GParted live CD (but not on the Mini 110).
Can shrink and create new partition in freed-up space.
Be careful though Windows may not boot afterwards.
If so use the Windows Emergency Repair Disc, downloadable for free 32bit or 64 bit version (have not tried this my self yet)

anyone here succesfully enable the wifi on the ubuntu?
can teach me .

ok, now I am getting more headache & confused

ok, I think I wanna do a Clean Format on the C drive, since I got my own Windows 7 Ultimate


So, may I know what are the risks & disadvantages, if I clean format the C drive?
1) cannot use back the "F11 Recovery" function anymore?
2) cannot find back & install back the original Netbook Drivers anymore? ---------> POSSIBLE???

Like I say, all the drivers in the netbook is in the C:\SwSetup

and yes, when you clean format, you are not able to use the F11 recovery already, so you will need to make a DVD backup of the recovery which the netbook allows you to.

@fcuk90: I got a grub2 error, the infamous sh:grub error. FUUUUUUUUUU- now reinstalling
