ok i set up a large 250gb root at beginning of soace. and am allocating the remainder of the 2tb to /home. Does it matter if I leave /home at “ beginning of this space” or change it to “ end of this space”?

In Installation Type window, I highlighted /dev/sdb and the + sign is grayed out , so I chose “New partition table”. A message -“ you have selected an entire device to partition. If you proceed with creatinga new partition table on tge device then all current partitions will be removed”. is this ok?

when i went back into installation, it had changed my partition name from sda to sdb. so I will delete all sdbx partitions except /dev/sdb and revset them up with the correct sizes. correct?

the install completed, and I chose “continue testing” instead of “restart”. The partition sizes it used were not what i needed, so I tried to start at Install Linux Mint again & it threw an error. Do I need to restart and select my usb stick as the boot sector and start over?

it went to select time zone and after I selected, it started installing without giving me sizing options. will that come later?

I chose delete and reinstall & am at the Install now. Will it give me the ability to size my partitions in the next step ?

I’m stuck. I don’t want degraded performance and I can’t seem to move the partition so …

I think I’ll have to change the align setting to cylinder or none. can you explain those settings?

Both the free space preceding snd following were already set to 0. and it won’t let me resize/move. its grayed out

I don’t have any data on the drive yet, only what is installed for linux. So data loss is not a concrrn. I don’t know how to move the partition in gparted though. I assume it involves “free space preceding” and “free space following” as well as changing the “align to” field to something other...

I have not moved the partition yet. Should I add back the space I removed from the /home partition, then move the entire /home partition to the beginning of the drive, the un-allocate it again and try adding it to the root partition. I will need instructions on how to move the /home partition...
