Comments on: How To: Dual Boot Vista and Ubuntu Gutsy(7.10) http://nighthacker.net/how-to-dual-boot-vista-and-ubuntu-gutsy710/ Hacking On A Personal Level Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:04:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Desiree http://nighthacker.net/how-to-dual-boot-vista-and-ubuntu-gutsy710/#comment-705 Desiree Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:47:44 +0000 http://nighthacker.net/how-to-dual-boot-vista-and-ubuntu-gutsy710/#comment-705 Hello, I am trying to add a partition for Ubuntu with Vista already installed on a computer I bought a couple days ago (so not much more than the OS is on the computer at this point). I'm unable to shrink the volume due to an error stating "There is not enough space availabe on the disk(s) to complete this operation." I've checked around and found many people to have this same problem, but nothing that can make it work for me. Any suggestions on how I can get past this error? Thanks. Hello,

I am trying to add a partition for Ubuntu with Vista already installed on a computer I bought a couple days ago (so not much more than the OS is on the computer at this point).

I’m unable to shrink the volume due to an error stating “There is not enough space availabe on the disk(s) to complete this operation.” I’ve checked around and found many people to have this same problem, but nothing that can make it work for me.

Any suggestions on how I can get past this error?

Thanks.

In my hard disk I have about 130 Gb where is installed vista. I would like to divide it in three partitions, one for vista, one for ubuntu and one for the data that I would like to read and write by using both operating system. Do you have any other suggestion about that? Hi, thanks for your suggestion,

However there are countless cases when Vista would not shrink NTFS partition despite the fact that there is tens of GB free space. The problem is contiguous space. I have not find a solution to this despite trawling through googleland for two days It is OK when utility in Vista is working.

Gutsy is working ok. I have to fix the graphics card problem. I restart my laptop and it took me 10 min partition my hdd. Yeah, that was 70 GB not 70 MB. It’s ok now. Gutsy is working ok.

Mine took about 5 minutes to partition. You should check your hard drive cables inside your computer. Unless you are using an external hard drive, in which case I have no experience. Also, is 70mb big enough to fit any OS on? No it should not be taking so long. Mine took about 5 minutes to partition. You should check your hard drive cables inside your computer.

But it's already over an hour and the partition is not complete yet. My drive space is 110 mb and free space is around 70 mb. Does it generally take this long? Or is there a problem with my vista?
