When I got my new computer a few months ago, it came with Windows 7 and I used Windows 7's own Disk Management tool to resize my window partition. However, I discovered I wasn't able to resize it down to as small as I hoped I might, due to some data in the middle of the drive that wouldn't move (I had a 500Gb drive and found myself having to keep half of it for Windows 7), even though I hadn't used Windows at all at that point, only booting into it once so that data was there from Windows 7 install. So be aware that this might happen (an online research revealed that I wasn't the only one in that situation) - in fact, I have wondered if it might be a Microsoft's strategy to make it more difficult for users to install other OSs on their computer...
Anyway, then I installed Ubuntu, letting it work out what was where, and my dual boot system is now running smoothly. ------------- Dorset Humanists Events ( http://groups.to/dorsethumanists/ ) "Humanism and the European Humanist Federation by David Pollock", Saturday 9th April, 2pm, Moordown Community Centre "Fair Votes for All?", Wednesday 27th April, 7.30pm, Moordown Community Centre Events are free to attend to everyone - both Dorset Humanists members and non-members - and donations can be made on the door to help Dorset Humanists cover the costs (hiring the venue, speakers expenses). ****************************************************************************** Check out Sudoku Way, a Tetris meet Sudoku game for Android at https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cogitas.sudokuway Google Android, programming and web design at http://www.cogitas.net/blog/ -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday 2011-04-05 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
