Hi I have recently got a Dell Inspiron 17" Laptop online from US. I would like to install Ubuntu and dual boot with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit (already factory installed in C: by default. The HDD remains partitioned as follows:
1. 39 MB OEM Partition 2. 21.67 GB Recovery (System active Primary Partition) - created by dell recovery backup tool 3. OS (C:) Boot, Page File, Crash Dump Primary partition I have to shrink the partition C: to create two more partitions one for data another for Ubuntu installation. I did a google search. Some suggest not to use the GParted that comes with Ubuntu and has some issues with Windows NTFS. Some say the partition utility of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit is not reliable. I shall be thankful, if some one guide me how to proceed (with links or step by step instruction). I am dual booting my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit without any issues. I did not remember, what partition utility I used for that. Thanks.
