Hi folks.
I'm going to install Ubuntu today on my PC. My computer came with three preinstalled partitions: C BOOT, where my Windows XP is placed, E RECOVERY, which I wont change anything ;), and D BACKUP where I currently have the Windows 7 RC installed, just to try it, I swear, I love Linux :D.
But anyway, C BOOT and E RECOVERY should stay as the are, where I want to install Ubuntu is on D BACKUP. My problem is that there is Win7 placed, and I would really like if it could stay there a couple of months more. I would proberbly uninstall it during the summer, but not yet.
Is there a way to "divide" partition D BACKUP into one with about 15 gb to Win7 and one with about 80 gb to Ubuntu without deleting Windows 7 RC? And if yes, can I then kinda "merge" them together after I've uninstalled Windows 7 again, and give the space to Ubuntu?
I know really nothing about this, but could any of you please help me with this. How should I do if I want to keep my to Windows and still have Ubuntu?
Greetings! :)
Mathias.
