right i am going to dual boot linux and windows but i cant figure this out
i am in computer management trying to shrink my 100 gig c partition so that i have 2 gig for ubuntu but i get these options
total size before shrink (mb) 98272 = 95.5 gig, that sounds about right
size of available shrink size (mb) 13302 = 12.99, why when it says there is 52.9 gig free of 95.9!?!?!
can anyone shed some light on this, i am trying to install ubuntu so i can write an essay up in open office
thanks
