Tjen I reran the Shrink Volume process. This time it allowed C to shrink down to 113 Gb. Hallelujah, I'm almost there! I'm going to another defrag/clean up, then try again. If nothing gives this time, I'll probably just leave it as is. This leaves me with over 300 Gb for Linux. I like installing 2 or 3 different distributions, just for fun.</p><div><div>

The first thing I did after booting it up was to go into Partition Management to shrink the C partition to make room for Lubuntu. I was shocked to discover that the partition manager would only shrink C by 50%. So, I went ahead and did that.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Then, I booted up a live CD of Gparted. Gparted says I can shrink C way down a lot more. I don't remember how far it was, but it was way down, less than 100 GB. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Can I safely follow Gparted's recommendation and not impact Winbroke? I am not too terribly worried about it though. I am going to create a restore image DVD, but I just thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any experience on this before I get started. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Thanks,<br clear="all"></div><br>-- <br>->Jerry<-
