-- ----- I suspect you'll have to first trash all partitions on that drive then make a windows partition of less than 100% and then reinstall windows in that smaller partition then go into linux and make linux partitions and install linux. Reason is, usually when drives are partitioned for windows it's 100% of the drive that windows gets. Personally I have a problem wasting good hard drive space on anything like windows but that's the way I roll.Microsoft; mismanagement, and stupidity are all weapons of mass destruction.
