I have two linux distros that I want to dual-boot off a single 140GB serial ATA drive what I want to do is set up both distros so that I can boot either of them whenever I start up, I've done this with windows which was fairly simple since all I needed was to install the distro on a seperate partition and it pretty much did this all automagically

I am trying to test different distros from a specific usb thumb drive that I have. I am installing them using UNetBootIn. The installation goes fine. I am doing this process from Xubuntu 12.10 live usb (and sometimes Linux mint 13 Mate).

(Windows says I can shrink the drive down to 436.5gb out of 911gb.)

I have Ubuntu 12.04, and I was hoping to completely wipe my hard drive of Ubuntu.

Well, seeing as how it seems like thats practically impossible without a live cd/dvd (Which I no longer i have) I was curious to know if I can dual boot instead.

Note:Using GParted the permissions keep me from formatting my hard drive or altering it in anyway at all.
