Linux Lite in two hdd

Quote:Thanks for the answer and here is my drive information, I want to clarify that I don't care preserve the information or other OS, I just want to use all the space for LL

Going by your fdisk readout. I cannot tell if your bios has sda or sdb as the 1st boot drive. Since things don't  matter on preserving.
Pick the drive that boots 1st and install LL there.

If me in your shoes. The other drive I  am not installing Linux Lite to, I would format as EXT3 completely using Gparted in a live session before running the installer.

Reading your inxi report.
Here is how I would proceed.

/= on /dev//sda1 at 12 or 15 gig ( I say this because you have 250 gig of drive. I cut mine close at 10 gig and have to be careful on mine from running out of space)

/swap= at 4 gig even though you have 4 gig of ram in your HP
/home= on the rest of the 250 gig leftover

root (/) and home (/home) I would let format at ext 4 file system.

Install grub to mbr on /dev/sda

Make sure /dev/sda is 1st boot drive in bios if it is not.

/dev/sdb 250 gig would be EXT3 for storage of backup files you wish to keep from /home.

That is how I would handle this. Maybe other members have a better suggestion than mine if you want to wait.

Good luck with it and Happy Trailz from the Mexican Border in Texas, Rok.
