Can I change a linux swap partition to a file system without losing data?
- by Diogo
so I am using ubuntu 11.10, just changed from windows to ubuntu, and one of my file systems, I accidentally set it up as a linux swap partition and now I want to acces my files, as I did in windows, but I do not know any secure way to change that partition to a file system without formating it and loosing the data.
Because I do not want to loose the data I have there. Does deleting the partition and mounting it again solve the problem?
