I just built a new PC, and I'm looking to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I have a 256gb SSD, which I would rather be dedicated to Windows. I also have a 2tb hard drive, which is where I'd like to put Ubuntu. I'd like Ubuntu to take about 256gb on the HDD, with about 1.75tb of shared storage for both Ubuntu and Windows. How would I go about doing this?

i did this before in my desk computer . follow this steps :

  1. install windows on the SSD .
  2. install ubuntu partitions on the specified amount of the HDD drive.
  3. format the left amount with NTFS or FAT32 file system .
  4. finish the installations

note : you can format the shared partition while installing ubuntu or after .

your partitions should look something like this :

  • SSD (windows) :
    • C:\
    • D:\
  • HDD (ubuntu) :
    • sda1 - Ubuntu (EXT4)
    • sda2 - Swap
    • sda3 - Shared partition between Ubuntu and Windows (NTFS or FAT32 Format)
