    Partition

    If I wanted to partition my hard drive to install linux on my mac can I use bootcamp? If I can, can I transfer my existing ubuntu VM to the new partition?

    Thanks,
    Kopkins

    If you are asking about still being able to use boot camp on the mac side then yes you could. As for moving your Ubuntu virtual machine to the new drive, then you should be able to do that as well (assuming that the VM is on your mac) all you need to do is locate where the file is that your virtual Ubuntu partition is on, and then type in
    Code:
    sudo dd if=part1 of=part2
    where part1 is the file Ubuntu is on and part2 is the new partition. Unfortunately the file that Ubuntu is kept on may vary depending on what virtual machine software you are using. Hope this helps.
