Hello there, I just bought a EEE 1005HA/P netbook. It seems great, and I'd like to put a mix of windows 7 and netbook remix on it.

However, when I attempt to do a "side by side" install when booting from a usb drive, I get an error saying that gparted is unable to resize a windows dynamic partition.

After a google, It appears that only windows is able to shrink a partition to let me do it, but I can't shrink a partition down (I installed win 7 over the stock install, which was a 160 gig drive partitioned into two large active partitions, and a spare inactive backup partition.

What should I try to be able to put netbook remix on?
