I'm a new Ubuntu user. I installed Ubuntu on my computer yesterday.

I choose my 2nd partition of hdd's mount point as /home and format type ext4.

Now, I can't see my 2nd partition or can't change format type the only thing I can do is choosing flag type from gparted. Do you have any idea how can i use it?

You cant use gparted to change a partition that is mounted. You say you cant see your 2nd partition but if it is mounted to /home then everything in this folder will be on your 2nd partition.

If you open the 'System Monitor' and click the 'File Systems' tab you will be able to see each partition and where it is mounted.

If you would like to alter a partition then you will have to do so from a live USB or CD as this it the only way you will be able to change the HD without mounting it first.
