I've just installed Jaunty on a dell notebook to dual boot with Vista. I didn't look (or think) and have made the Ubuntu partition way too small. Is there a way to repartition the drive ?

Install Gparted application..It will do it.

You should use the Vista partitioning tool to resize Vista before you use Gparted to set up the partitions for Ubuntu.

If you delete any unnecessary restore points in Vista first, you will be able to shrink the Vista partition more.

The answer depends on whether you installed through Wubi or installed to a separate partition. So, which did you do?

I installed to a seperate partition. I have since installed 8.10 (which allows you to select the partition size), although I would have preffered Jaunty, Hardy will suffice.

Thank you.
