Fewest steps to partition a post-install added harddisk?

  • 772

I have added 1 TB harddisk my system already has Ubuntu 11.10 on another drive, and I need a quick partitioning of the 1Tb HDD from linux: an 150 Gb partition the rest just free.

How can I do that in a few steps?

EDIT: Gparted does the fastest job if you like GUI!For console: fdisk!

11.10

    Use software such as Gparted or in terminal:

    fdisk /dev/sda1(use your hdd instead)

    After editiing and writing changes update your fstab file.

    To list hard disk's use:

    fdisk -l
