Dear All, I am trying to set up a dual boot system on a new Dell laptop factory installed with 64-bit Windows 7 professional.
Model: Dell Latitude E6410 OS: Windows 7 Professional MEM: 8G CPU: Corei7 HD: 500GB I first shrank the HD with Win7 to give ~250GB space to the new OS, I then installed from DVD, so far, I tested Red Hat 5 workstation, Fedora 13, Ubantu 10, all of them complained that I don't have enough space to put partition.....Further googling found out that DELL had put some hidden partitions (Dell Utility, Recovery, and a partition named READER) on the HD and there is a limit to 4 primary partitions. Did anyone have any success?
