	I have a laptop from Compaq/HP that came with Vista. Vista 
has all the 160 GB of hard drive space. It took some time with 
a i386 LiveCD using Gpart to select the amount of space, about 
100 GB, to remove this and form a new partition that is shown 
as /dev/sda2 and you want it at the end of the hard drive. You 
do this with the same Gpart and it takes time.

	When done make another 6GB partition to put Ubuntu. I have 3 
versions of Ubuntu on my laptop.
