You must shrink your Windows partition to create free, unpartitioned space on the disk. > Can't linux installation just manage it and do the work > (ie: create partition, format and install) Yes, after you have manually created the space necessary for that.

Use commercial tools like Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director, or the free NTFS Resize program: http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
