I would: 1) copy anything you don't want to lose (like the contents of /home) to Music. 2) install 10.0 using the existing partitions, but reformatting them. when you're happy everything is stable and usable: 3) backup anything from Windows that you don't want to lose to Music. 4) defragment Windows. Do not optimise the layout. 5) boot linux from CD 6) shrink the windows partition 7) create a new partition at the end of Windows 8) that may rename all your partitions*, so edit /etc/fstab to suit. *I would guess that you have a single primary partition and an extended partition on hda, making Boot hda5. If so creating a new primary partition will not rename anything. -- Richard Urwin
