http://askubuntu.com – Well I have a netbook, so I can't play games on windows either, no problem. But I'm getting a new desktop PC with better hadware and it will be able to run the most popular games and I want to have Windows on it to play games and software not compatible with ubuntu. I also want to have Ubuntu, as my primary OS, so I will set a dual boot. In this computer I will have a small SSD with both OS and a second drive (a 500gb HDD) to store my files. I want to avoid copying files from one OS to another every time I, ie, download a file. My question is: Is there any way that I could make both OS use t (HowTos)

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

The problem is that I am an avid gamer.

I have a 1TB hard disk running windows 7 on my Dell Laptop. I partitioned it into two drives one having 900 GB and the other drive having 100 GB.

Hello Group,

I'm a long time follower of Ubuntu and FOSS :D. After trying out Ubuntu (WUBI included), I'm finally ready to dual boot (need to keep windows for work related programs).

My hard drive has 2 partitions - C: (user files) & D: with Windows installed on D: (free space about 50 GB).

Right, didn't have much luck with the google-fu I normally do, so here I am.

I recently decided to finally finish a job I had started about 3 months ago, namely installing ubuntu as a dual boot with windows 7 on a 1.5 terabyte drive.

Many users use SSD disks (and I believe many more in the future) for their OS. 128GB SSD disks are common place nowadays and many users (like me) use their SSD for dual booting (Windows and Ubuntu).
