Hi, I've got XP installed on my computer, but I now want to add Ubuntu 7.04 and make a dual-boot system. I've got the CD needed to install this version but when I'm in the install wizard and I choose the guided resize partition option and click 'Forward', when it starts resizing the partition it stays at 0% and moves no further. After a while an error message appears,

Resize operation failure
An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices.
The resize operation is aborted.

Any help out there on what I am doing wrong? Or any links that can help me sort this out?

Thanks, Bartikky

Oh and 1 unrelated question, how can i delete threads that I've started? Or even can I? I couldn't find this in the FAQ Section.

Do you have at least 256 MB of RAM?

[Bartikky]

Yup, I do, I'm sure I have 512MB+ and yeah I've checked, it is about 700 something... I just can't remember the exact figure.

Defrag the xp partition first would help.

Also for obvious reason there should be plenty empty space left after resizing.

Is there unpartitioned space on the hard drive?

[Bartikky]

yeah, thanks guys i sorted it out, i use GParted to partition the drive for Ubuntu and voila it worked!
