I would like to be clarified on this thought. Is Linux Ubuntu Operating system possible for any partitions? If so is it more similar to windows wherein you could represent it through the drive letters such as the C or it is true that they are using numbers instead? Thank You!

Is partition possible with Ubuntu?
hi, yes of course Linux is an OS like any other OS can have its own partitions , but there is no C and D in Linux , instead , there a different concept, which include somehow what you said, numbers!!
to explain more, this is the output of the partition i have in my Ubuntu :
$sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 13 11409 91533312 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 12749 30402 141796352 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 11410 12748 10755487 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 11410 12673 10153048+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 12674 12748 602406 82 Linux swap / Solaris
you can see that each partition is named /dev/sdai, where i stands for the number of the partition!!
