Re: ubuntu noob you cant install anything on a live cd version, and gparted is a partition manager, not a format utility.
Re: ubuntu noob ok, is there any way of partitioning a external hard drive with out wipeing the files that are all ready on it? i have a 320GB mybook external hard drive and i all ready have files on it.
