How can Multiple Partition on my Disk? #helpme

Boot from the install disk/usb and look for Gparted. You can shrink your current partition and make new ones However things do go wrong so make a good backup of important files first. With that much disk space I would cut the root partition down to about 30 or 40 gigs. Make others as you prefer. Or the other alternative is to reinstall mint and when you get to the partitioning page select other and arrange the partitions the way you want I usually do 40 gigs / 2 to 4 for swap if needed and the rest home.
I would stick with ext4 file type for now. The choice is yours. I prefer to do it by a fresh install of the system. Good luck.
(Note you can not partition a partition that is in use so you have to reinstall or boot from a live disk.)

Seriously ? man why linux is so Problem there

As someone who only switched to Linux just a little over a month ago, I do not really agree with the notion that Linux is, per se, more problematic than Windows or Mac OS, it just works in a different way to them, and that is alright.

That means that there is a learning curve involved after switching to Linux, but what I have learned in the time since I made the switch is that I have found the learning experience rewarding, and having full control over my own computer is a reward all of its own (no more forced updates, telemetry, or surveillance, to name a few examples).

A little study and reading the install guidelines before installing Mint would have revealed how to partition that drive. But since you installed already those are your choices. Which are not that hard to do.

Of cause you don't have to create partitions...no rule says you have too either.

 

[osprey]

At least one partition is required, but I guess you meant that no more than that is needed.

Yes...that's what I meant...the one created by the installer.

Linux has a learning curve so you may have to put in a little time.

Try using Gparted Live to partition your HDD-

Note that the OP accessed the site at 12:56am australian time (this morning) and made no comment nor offerred any thanks for the comments/suggestions made.

Does that mean you have lost interest... @iam.Shanto ?

After all this time most likely ran back to windwoes.

Too much like hard work for the poor darling.

Insufficient people to hold his hand. Received a whole host of answers on the same day he posted.;...all from well versed people.

No loss

I particularly agree with the last 2 Aussies.

I might just lock this Thread for now, and if the OP actually wants for us to take him as

Seriously ?

... as he might like, he can PM me to reopen it.

I'll leave us with the words of @Sappho
