If you are running Windows and would like to install Linux on your system, you will need to make some free space on your hard drive for it. Changing the layout of your hard drive is called partitioning.

The ubuntu installer's partitioner is one of the safest ways to partition a hard disk. This is not an excuse for not making backups of your important files.

The default setting for the ubuntu partitioner is to delete everything on the first hard drive and start from scratch. If you want to preserve your Windows system, this is not what you want to do. What you need to do is create some free space.

Boot the installer.

Make your way to the partitioner.

Instead of taking the default, select manual editing of the partition table.

Select the partition that you want to resize. Hit enter.

Select the size. Enter a smaller size and hit enter. Say yes when asked if you want to change the partition table. You will be shown some free space when the new partition table is displayed.

From this point, you can select guided partitioning and the installer will calculate everything else for you.

If, when you are trying to shrink your partition, you are not given the option to enter a smaller size, it is because the installer does not feel it is able to resize the partition. Possibly because it thinks it is full, is corrupt, or has some other problems that it cannot solve.


Partitioning an NTFS (windows) partition is usually easy and straightforward. The Warty installer did not have this functionality, but the Hoary installer does.
