Hi all, I've only ever installed Ubuntu as the only O/S on PCs before, but I do need the laptop to be able to run Windows Media Centre from time to time, so dual-boot is the way to go.
I have an 80Gb HDD, with 40+Gb free at the moment... so in principle could re-partition down, to give, say, 20Gb to Ubuntu, and leave 20 still free for Windows. Some of the files are at the "wrong end" of the disk, though, so I don't have a big block of contiguous space free. What's the best way to do this? For a one-off exercise, I kind of resent the idea of paying £70 for Partition Magic... Can the Feisty installer do this for me? Oh - and in an ideal world, I'd like to set things up so the local email store (Thunderbird) was on some kind of drive that could be read/written reliably by EITHER O/S .... is this viable, or am I going to need to keep two copies of my "Offline IMAP" ?
