    Angry How To Decrypt Partition?

    So a few weeks ago, I got a new hard drive but didn't have the money to buy windows so I just put ubuntu on it. I like ubuntu, but now I got a job that requires me to have CS6 on my computer, so I need to install windows. I found my old Vista recovery CD, but I needed to create a partition on my hard drive. But alas, I can't. Stupid me encrypted the partition for ubuntu, and now I can't take it off. How do I decypt the partition so I can re size it and install windows? I need some help ASAP.

    Please and Thank You!

    P.S. I have Roaring Ringtail (13.04)

    I have never done it, but have this in my notes.

    Resizing your encrypted file system can not be done directly as of yet with Gparted as Gparted sees the encrypted partitions as unformatted space.
