Hey I am new to Ubuntu forums and I have to say that linux is absolutely amazing. The only problem is watching Netflix instantly is not supported on Linux and the only solution that I found for that(google), emulating, doesn't seem to be a viable option. So I realized I have to install XP but the problem is my entire hard drive is an ext4 partition with the exception of a swap partition. In the past, I have noticed performance decrease and instability from shrinking partitions.. So what is the best way to shrink and minimize the risk and negative "effects" of shrinking a partition? Is there a way of installing xp without partitioning because I know it is possible to run ubuntu on xp without doing any hardware modifications(Wubi)?

Thanks for any help
