Partitioning your hard drive and ssd for Ubuntu and Mac / Hackintosh dual boot

How?

Partitioning a hard drive and a ssd can be a little scary sometimes. It gets even scarier when your trying to partition on a Hackintosh for Ubuntu and a Mac, because it's hard to find information, and they both use completely different formats. Here is how I did it after researching the matter.

So at first I got hung up with how I should format the part's of the drives for the mac running system. Don't worry about that at all. You just need to partition and format the drives you'll be using for Ubuntu. 

I partitioned my 1tb drive into two parts. The first part is 250gb and it's for Ubuntu. The second part is 750gb, this is for the mac OS, because I'll be doing all my videos in it. 

For the 120gb ssd I also partitioned it into two parts. The first part is 20gb and it is for Ubuntu. The second part is 100gb and it's for Mac and all of the adobe products that I'll be using.

You might be wondering how I partitioned for the swap....... I didn't. I instead created a swap file. More on how to do that later.

I hope this helped. If I missed something please leave a comment. If you want more subscribe via email google reader or myy.
