So, I will keep WinXP in a small corner.
At the moment, I have 1 TB Win and 1 TB Ubuntu but I want to change this to 100GB Win and the rest Ubuntu during the install of Ubuntu 14.04
My question: can I do this during the Ubuntu replacement or do I first need to shrink Windows and then claim the remaining place?
I have already prepared the shrinking in Windows (threw out unnecessary software, stopped the paging (pagefile.sys) and moved everything at the start of the disk.
Thank you
From all I've read you should manipulate Windows partitions with Windows tools.
