As far as I've seen, windows pre-loaded laptops do not bar you from partitioning the hard disk. If you want to use Windows and Linux on the same laptop, I'll recommend either (a) use a VM for linux like VMWare or Virtualbox. (b) use wubi installer if you are looking at Ubuntu which will allow you to load Ubuntu without partitioning (uses a raw file). -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
