Hello All,

I want some inputs, please help me in this.

I want to install Windows7 (which I don't want but for some work I have to
do it unfortunately) on my external HDD (Seagate, 1TB) mounted as /dev/sdc1
(FileSystem: NTFS) on my base OS (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).

# Doubt 1: Total size of my HDD is showing in GParted is 931.51GB, I am
fascinate where is the rest space?

# Doubt 2: 600GB is full so it means I have 331GB remaining. I want to
allocate 80GB to my Windows7, after this I will have 251Gb free, which I
want to use for storing Data. I tried to resize my 1TB HDD using GParted
and Resized my HDD and assigned 80GB which is shown as unallocated. Upto
here I am fine but when I want to apply the changes I got a warning as:

*****
Moving a partition might cause your operating system to fail to boot.
you have queued an operation to move the start sector of partition
/dev/sdc1. failure to boot is most likely to occur if you move the
GNU/Linux partition containing /boot, or if you move the Windows system
partition C:

Moving a partition may take a very long time to apply.
*****

So please be kind to guide me should I go further or not? I don't have any
other media to take my backup.

Thanks in advance.
