I have a laptop with vista on and I've been using wubi for a month or so and I now want to install it properly.
However I only have 1 hard drive with 2 partition one with vista on. So when I went to install it on the second partion with is 58gb in size I wanted to make it 50gb for ubuntu and 2048mb for the swap (I have 1gb of ram) however the partion tool wouldn't allow me to split it into 2 partitions it could only set it to the maximum size of 58gb.
I'm going to partition my drive in windows, just want to see if I'm missing something.
I'm guessing I could also use gpart on the live cd.
Any help would be appreciated.
