Recently i dedcided it would be a good idea to convert my machine into a dual boot windows and linux system. I looked up a how to online and it seemed fairly easy. I compressed all of the files i had spread throught my HD onto the "left" side easily, but have been having major trouble with partitioning the hard drive.
I tried partitioning through computer management, however there are no unalocated regions for me to right click to partition. I then tried to use the comand line to partition it. i entered everything and chose the correct drive, however after typing "create partition primary [size25600] [offset0] [noerr]" the response was
Microsoft Diskpart version5.1.3565
PARTITION - create partition
VOLUME - create a volume
i then typed "partition"
printout was
Microsoft Diskpart version5.1.3565
ADD - add a miror to sample volume
.....
CREATE - create a volume or partition
and so on
if from here i type "create" it returns me to the partition volume line which then returns me to the above.
any help is appreciated...
thanks in advance Jrock
