hitest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 slayer1927,Good to hear you sorted stuff out.I agree with iccaros, running df -h will give you an idea how much room you have on your hard drive for Ubuntu. df -h will show you how your hard drive is divided up into partitions. Then you can see how much space you have for saving media files, data, documents, etc.Click on------>Terminal Inside the terminal prompt you can type in the command df -h and look at your HD layout.
