/dev/sda1 primary 250mb fs: ext2 (boot)
/dev/sda2 primary 30gb fs: NTFS (Windows)
/dev/sda3 primary 500gb fs: ext4 (Arch)
/dev/sda4 primary 500gb fs: ext4 (Later usage maybe trying out LFS)
I just decided to make it simple and it also allows me extra space for whatever I decide to do later with all that space that I'll never use.
When I originally posted this, I already was dual booting windows and xubuntu, my plan was just to wipe xub since mostly everything else would be pretty much the same grub-wise. The scheme was:
/dev/sda1 primary 100mb fs: NTFS (MBR)
/dev/sda2 primary 250gb fs:NTFS (Windows)
/dev/sda3 primary 30gb fs: ext4 (root)
/dev/sda5 logical 250mb fs: ext2 (boot)
/dev/sda6 logical rest-of-drive fs: ext4 (home)
What is your current partition setup like? Post the output of fdisk -l (run it as root obviously).
