I think you can first archive all the data in /var using tar or something that has the same function.Then delete this partition. You know what to do next? Yes, create two partitions for windows and /var. then extract the archive to one and install win on the other. I've never tried this means, but I am sure it will work. By the way, I think you should drop your windows-rooted thinking pattern.You know, the philosophy of *nix is excellent.
