I am new to Linux. I have a Toshiba Satellite M45-S265 with Windows Vista home 32 bit installed.

I made a live boot CD with Linux distro (Lubuntu 15.10 i386.iso).

I booted into Linux installer and it asked to install in the "Something Else" section and to resize my local disk without keeping windows Vista partitions.

So that I can install other Linux distros and keep my files. I don't know how to resize the partitions and what partitions to resize.

  • Boot into Windows Vista
  • Right click on "computer" and click "manage"
  • click on "disk management"
  • select the disk where you want ubuntu to be installed
  • right click and click "shrink". This will take some of the free space of your disk and creates a separate partition
  • enter the amount of space for the new partition (50000mb or 50GB)
  • perform a quick format select NTFS
  • remember the drive letter of the new empty partition
  • insert ubuntu installation disc and restart
  • click install ubuntu
  • choose something else
  • on the dropdown menu, select the newly created partition and INSTALL
  • choose ext4
