Hi,
I am about to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop where Windows XP already exits.
Someone told me before that the space allocated for Ubuntu must be continuous, which is shown in a colorful bar in partition step of the Ubuntu installation. In the bar of my case, from left to right are:
Windows RAM --- Windows C (system) disk --- Windows D (data) disk --- my current Ubuntu home --- my current Ubuntu root --- my current Ubuntu swap.
I am now hoping to add some space from Windows C into new Ubuntu root and it would be the best if the content in my current Ubuntu home could be preserved after the reinstallation. I was wondering if the one who told me is correct. If he is, I will not able to make space from Windows C for new ubuntu root? If he is not, how shall I do to achieve my goal?
Thanks in advance!
