And if your free space on that drive is already used for your Windows C: partition, you're going to need to shrink it to leave some unpartitioned space for Linux to use. Linux and Windows use different file systems, they can't share the same partition (without even more mucking around than repartitioning involves). Defrag the drive, this will clump all the files on the drive together. Hopefully at the start of the drive so you can shrink the partition over unused space on the drive. Look for a tutorial on shrinking partitions on the net. It's far more detailed than I'd like to explain in and e-mail. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
