My son has a HP probook 4520s laptop with windows 7 and rather than have the stress of dealing it I'd like to repartition and have dual boot Linux.
Running parted shows: Number Start End Size Type File system Flag 1 1049kB 316MB 315MB primary ntfs boot 2 316MB 302GB 302GB primary ntfs 3 302GB 318GB 16.1GB primary ntfs 4 318GB 320GB 2143MB primary fat32 lba As the starts and ends don't run in sequence I guess that parted (2.3 on a Porteus-v09 live CD) does not understand the disk. Will it "just work", or how can I fix this? Yours Ian
