Hi! This is my first time here!

I have two existing operating systems on a Lenovo G560; Windows 7 Ultimate and Snow Leopard 10.6.2.

I am planning to install Ubuntu 11.4 on the same hard drive. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Yeah just download a live cd and boot that. During installation it should recognize your other OSes and give you the option to make a new partition for ubuntu. If it doesn't you can just do it with gparted which is on the cd and is pretty easy to use. Once installed grub should give you the option to boot to any of your operating systems when you turn on your computer.

The download is almost done. Can I also adjust both OS's partition size using gparted?
