Allan, I believe the easiest way for you is.... Defrag Windows (I believe that yopu have already done that) Boot into the Mepis LiveCd Run QTParted (it is in the menu somewhere) Resize your windows partition and create new partitions (Root, Swap and Home for Linux and Fat#@ for sharing files between both Windows and Linux) Start the Mepis Install from the Icon on the desktop.
