I have the Linux Mint "Tessa" operating system on my notebook.
I can now edit (also delete) the partitions on the hard drive with the GParted program
Entries are:
1) / dev / sda1 Basic data partition File system unknown
2) / dev / sda2 Basic data partition file system mtfs label recover
continue
3) / dev / sdb2 Microsoft reserved partition file system unknown
4) / dev / sdb3 Basic data partition file system ntfs
5) / dev / sdb8 image of a keyboard file system ext4
6) / dev / sdb6 says nothing about file system ext4
7) / dev / sdb7 says nothing about file system linux-swap
8) / dev / sdb4 Basic data partition file system ntfs
9) / dev / sdb5 Basic data partion file system unknown
Maybe someone knows what is hidden behind these entries?
What is there just doesn't help us if we don't see the sizes
a Mcirosoft reserved partition,
then stop the linux swap, ext4 (linux), an ntfs probably that of your windows.
can it be that you somehow simply installed the linux in parallel?
and find out more about how linux is structured.
Linus is installed in parallel
Main system is Linux Mint "Tessa"
Then there's Linux Mint "Serena" on it
Then there's Windows 10, which I haven't used for a long time
I tried to reset the hard drive with the Windows 10 backup to its original state, but it failed.
I backed up Windows 10 to an external hard drive.
So it didn't work and now I have a partial Windows 10 operating system on the hard drive
Now I wanted to know which system the entries belong to
File System ntfs is that of Microsoft
However, when starting, I also have entries (I can choose which system I want to start) for the individual operating systems.
With the "GParted" partitioning program, which is part of Linux Mint "Tessa" by default, I can't see directly what belongs to which operating system.
There's also file system "unknown" → unknown → can it be that this is the damaged Windows 10?
Sd and then the name can be compared with C:, F:, E:,… From Windows. The letter denotes the device. The number indicates the partition number. The dev at the beginning indicates where the partition is located (i.e. In the / dev / folder). A is usually the first internal hard drive.
What comes after that is the name (the one that you can assign yourself).
The last one is the filesystem. NTFS is normally used in Windows. EXT4 is always used in Linux distributions.
The first 4 partitions belong to Windows it seems.
sdb6 is probably the partition where all the GNU + Linux files are, so your home folder and such.
sdb7 is the swap memory. Linux usually terminates programs by itself as soon as your RAM is full, the swap memory prevents that. This is usually the same as your RAM. As soon as the main memory is full, the new temporary data is written to the swap memory. Reading and writing to the swap memory takes a long time, which causes the system to lag when your memory is full. But it is better than programs that are terminated.
You can't really tell with the others.

Many Thanks!
I installed Linux Mint "Tessa" in parallel, in addition to Windows 10 and Linux Mint "Serena"
Problems arose when trying to restore the system to its original state with Windows 10.
Windows 10 got stuck and the Linux Mint system did not uninstall.
Linnux Mint "Tessa" runs flawlessly and now I'm using the partition program "GParted" to learn something by trying it out.
The files with the file system "unknown" are probably the damaged files (Windows 10) that do not work
Because I have several operating systems on the hard disk, when I boot up, I get a choice between the operating systems.
Linux Mint "Serena" (on / dev / sdb6) is also indicated there
on = on
dev is probably device = device / component according to my English-German dictionary for computer English
Nice contribution! Gave me a nice overview!
