New question #79050 on Ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79050
Hi everybody, First, I have installed my Ubuntu into a SATA disk with 120GB using the following partition settings: sda1: /boot ext3 200MB; sda2: swap - 256MB; sda3: /home ext3 19GB sda4: / ext3 37GB Therefore, I have left the other half of available space in the HD. I was wondering to install Windows XP into this available space, but, as I'm doing the installation via USB and I already have 4 partitions created (mentioned above), when I try to create another partition, using the other half of the disk, of course, the windows installation guide doesn't allow me. So, what I did so far was to delete the swap partition and create a file using "dd" command in the root partition, making it my new swap device with 2GB of space. Unfortunately, even removing the swap partition, the windows installation guide still complain that it won't allow another partition to be created. To solve this problem, I had an idea to use Gparted to hide all the Ubuntu partitions, but, even using the Gparted Live CD, when I click over the "Hidden" checkbox inside the "Manage Flags" nothing happens. Is there another way to do it and whether this procedure is going to work or not? Thanks in advanced.
