Let's say 30GB total for Linux by shrinking the C drive to create free
space. Volume 1 is Windows PE, Volume 3 for recovery. It's not a
problem to install Linux between Volume 0 and Volume 1?
Notably, the GUI diskmgr.msc shows this sequence:
Recovery, ESP, C, Recovery
how much for root, home and swap from the approximate total of 30? (The
30GB is flexible, I picked a rather low number.)
There's no system image partition -- just the Windows PE and recovery
partitions.
thanks,
