This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.














  • Since Drive D and Drive E are Windows names, I would guess they would vanish with Windows.

  • If you have other NTFS partitions, you either need Windows or a Windows repair disk. NTFS will need chkdsk and defrag which you can only do from Windows. If totally uninstalling Windows best to backup all data, and reformat all partitions (which will erase all data). Then restore data to new ext4 formatted partitions.

To "uninstall" Windows, simply format its partition. You can use various tools for that. Probably gparted would be easiest for you.



IMPORTANT: Make sure to copy the data which you want to preserve. Userspace by default is located in C:Users<Username>.



Afterwards, it is as simple as running # update-grub.
Your other partitions will not be affected, however you need to make sure to mount them. This may include editing the /etc/fstab file accordingly.
Linux will have no problem with NTFS (assuming that's the filesystem you use).

            How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
