Hi Jerry,
We think that it will work to reduce the size of the Windows partition
using gparted (from a linux live system). You are already warned against
reducing the size too much. I think you should leave at least 100 GB
disk space for Windows. There are no guarantees. So you need a good and

That's what I intend to do once I get the DVDs created. I was having
trouble with the Windows backup tool writing to my external ASUS DVD-RW USB
drive. It seemed to write data to disc 1, and then it would tell me to
insert another disc larger than 1GB as Disc 1 again. I'll have to retry
that tomorr
Hi,
Every so often I get a computer with windows on it, and I resize the
windows partition for the person, so they can run their Windows only apps.
I have never once had an issue. But really, most of the time, I only
use Windows to update the BIOS.
And then the next thing I do is install a flavour
Yeah, I understand that it's a loaded question. I was just wondering if
anyone here had tried it before. After I get my DVD images complete and
tested, I'm going to try it.

It has a 500Gb hard drive, but the "C" partition was only about 460Gb. When
I ran the Partitoner from inside Windows, it would only shrink "C" down to
226Gb.
I just now booted up a Lubuntu live 14.04 disc and ran Gparted from inside
Lubu. Gparted says I can shrink "C" down to 36.6 Gb minimum. But,

I used to shrink WindowsXP partitions with Gparted and I had no problems so
far. Even though, do nothing until you have the restore image on DVDs...
User experience and taste vary. Today I rarely use Windows, and when I do,
I use Virtual

Hi,
I'd like to add something here...
You can image the entire drive to a compressed tarball if you have a
device with enough storage space.
So irregardless of what happens, you could always re-image your computer.
I have never done it with Windows, but it should work just fine.

thank you for the effort so far. I tried to move pulse from config and
