Hi everyone,
When I installed Ubuntu (5 days ago, I'm the definition of a newbie) I saw that there was a small partition on my c drive. I was afraid to touch it until I later learned it was to re-install windows. I wanted to have 3 partitions for ubuntu, I wanted my /home directory to be its own partition. Because you can only have 4 on the hard drive and I'm dual booting, I could not do this.
I would like to get rid of that partition, re-size the partition that windows is on and re-install Ubuntu as I wanted to do it. How can I do this and still be able to re-install windows? Also, I've heard that I should install Windows first, but will it reformat the hard drive first and erase my partions before it re-installs?
Thanks!
