Gparted is pretty trustworthy. But still, always double check that the info matches what you expect.nooby wrote:Can I always trust that wen it sad sdb and 20GB then that is the external drive?
For example - that Gparted pic shows that you are using 3Gb of the drive. Does that match what you expect? Are you happy to risk that 3Gb of data? Do you have a backup of that data?
Just be careful with the label of sda number. It can change depending on what other drive is available, and where it is connected. For example, if you added another usb stick in one port, and the external drive adapter in another port, then the numbering might change from what you saw on the previous boot (I think..)
Always double check and trust yourself more than any program
Backup, backup, backup. And backup again.
