You have to partition the disk, leaving at least one partition for each system. One way is to download a live CD (or USB) copy of gparted, the GNU Partition Editor. See http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php Gparted can resize your existing Windows partition and create a new one (or more than one) for Linux. It's best to let Windows use the first partition as that what it seems to expect, so just shrink it in place. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
