[ubuntu-uk] Dual booting (Was: Re: Bug Day)

[James Milligan]

 I'm actually going to install Ubuntu Studio - this is more suited for me
personally, because I do a lot of graphic design work. I'm hoping it's the
same install process as the normal distro - any advice? Thanks

I would be very suspicious about this. It may be that somehow there are non
movable items near the end of the drive, I do not know much about that
stuff.
I did find one (only) drive which could not be shrunk for some weird reason.
Wubi would be ok for this case anyway, but it is not very robust with power
failures (or I guess forced power downs).
