That was already done by corporate desktop support.

Ooh. Thanks for the warning. I am going to need to do that, obviously,
to provide a partition to install Ubuntu into, but I had reckoned on
letting the Ubuntu installer do it.

FWIW: I've operated on partitions using qparted, including shrinking
the Windows partition to make room for Linux. No problems. I DID
leave the starting points for partitions created by the Win
installer where they were and shrunk the larger, Win partition. Oh:
this was for Win-7 and earlier versions.<br>
