Hi, kind of a noob as far as partitions etc....i have the following on my 160 GB HDD:
dev/sd1 - NTFS - 6 GB - (diag) hidden recovery partition from Samsung for WinXP
dev/sd2 - NTFS - 40 GB - (boot) Windows XP partition
dev/sd3 - NTFS - 30 GB - windows documents and portable apps, etc.
dev/sd4 - extended - 72 GB
......dev/sd5 ext4 / 70 GB ubuntu
......dev/sd6 linux-swap 2 GB
and i would like to shrink down the ubuntu on dev5 or i guess it might have to be the dev4 section(?) and
add in about 4 small ~10 GB windows partitions(between SD3 and Ubuntu) and leave Ubuntu with about 30 GB on the last part of the partition table(around SD10)....i have GParted on a Ubuntu LiveCD - can i do this safely without losing my WinXP and Ubuntu installs and esp my boot load sequence?
tia for any help...
