Hi, I try to install linux finally - yeah. But the installation guide says I have no free hard drive space. I cannot resize my hard drive in the GParted either. I have an 80GB hard drive and Windows says 75% is free. I would like to dual boot with XP. Is my hard drive damaged or am i missing sth.
Ths

Boot windows and run the defrag of your harddrive a couple of times first.

It was my hardrive. I bought a new one and now I am a proud Ubuntu user :P Thanks
