Unless someone else has an answer.
Could you shrink another partition and give windows just enough to run a vm?
I could not do that (though I tried). My partitioning scheme does not permit me to do that.
Here is what my fdisk -l gives:
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000837a4
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1276 10249438+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 5110 9729 37110150 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3 1277 1312 289170 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 1313 5109 30499402+ 8e Linux LVM
I have also attached a screen-shot of the gparted window.
The problem is self evident: I cannot just shrink my /boot which is already some 200 MB.
