How to know which partition is which?
- by user206870
Well I was just wondering what partition belongs to which. On my computer I have Windows 7 and two Ubuntu systems (it was an accident, which is why I need to know which partition is which). So how do I know which one is which??
PS here's the codes:
jp@jp-Satellite-L555D:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for jp:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2
Found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda3
Found Ubuntu 13.10 (13.10) on /dev/sda7

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Thanks to whoever can answer this.
Another quick question, what is the extended partition??
