Hi all,
I've been using Ubuntu solely for months now, but I need to put windows back on my machine.
I don't mind formatting then installing windows, then ubuntu.
However, how should I set the partitions up to do this? Whenever I've tried to shrink Vista's partition it complains about a corrupted HD.
Also, I'd like /home to sit in a separate partition - how should I do this from the Ubuntu installation?
Additionally, I don't want to create a swap partition this time around - I have 2GB of RAM and don't need one for Ubuntu.
Any help much appreciated - I'm not sure where to start.
