<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I hope everyone is safe and secure these days. This weekend
promises to be eventful one way or another so I'm holding on to
the seat with both hands! <br>
</p>
<p>I have an Asus laptop with a 256GiB SSD. I installed Ubuntu 20.04
on it and all is fine except for my own screw-ups, mostly. After I
installed the OS I copied over from the 1TB drive I had been
using. I only copied what I needed or used frequently, leaving the
remaining data on the 1TB drive. Now I'm wondering if there is a
way to partition the 1 TB drive so I have its existing bootable
Ubuntu and cloning my currently used, the 20.04 OS at about 200GiB
full, onto the 1TB drive in a new, bootable partition. Then I
would choose which to boot if I want to use them for separate
work. Also could I access the data from one partition to the other
in use? I currently can either boot the 1TB disc from a USB
connection or just mount it as a storage device and get the info I
want from it. At the same time I could grow the 256GiB partition
to 512GiB and have all the storage I need.</p>
<p>Just a thought but intriguing and especially as I watch my
remaining disc capacity on the 256GiB drive slowly shrink.</p>
<p>Many thanks folks and I wish all the best for this year and this
weekend!</p>
<p>Brian<br>
