<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My son is interested in installing ubuntu onto his
laptop where he already has vista.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Overall his desire is to get rid of vista, but he
needs some stuff for college still.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is how to partition the harddrive. The
windows partition is 100gb, and takes the entire drive. The c: drive has roughly
49gb free.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When he goes to install ubuntu, is there a way to
shrink the existing partition by 40gb to give plenty of room for
ubuntu?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What tool do we need, and how do we do
it?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
