I've currently got the max number of primary partitions (4), one of which is an extended partitions comprised of four logical partitions. I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a machine which is currently running Vista and Ubuntu.
My drive is currently laid out like this:
Code:
Device Boot System
Disk Device Size
Dell Utility 70MB
Recovery 10GB
Vista Boot 27GB
[unallocated] 24GB
Extended Partition
File Share 6GB
Ubuntu 7GB
Swap 350MB
Ideally, I'd install Windows 7 in the 24GB [unallocated] partition, but can't because I already have four primary partitions.
Is there a way either to:
(1) Incorporate the unallocated 24GB into the Vista partition as a logical drive?
(2) Somehow roll the unallocated 24GB into the extended partition WITHOUT a first wiping the current contents of the extended partition?
