Can anyone suggest how I can repartition my hard drive which has a single partition containing Windows XP Home? I want to install Ubuntu and make it a dual boot system.

The C: drive is 52GB with Windows XP fully installed on it; I need to resize it to 20GB, and install Ubuntu in the remaining 32GB. I need the data to be intact (which is around 10GB) in Windows XP.

Thanks Kez, let me check, if this works out. – user83483 May 29 '11 at 11:15
installing Ubuntu after XP will automatically create a boot menu with both operating systems in the list so that should not be a problem. It's just the partitioning bit which is tricky (hence the duplicate vote as it kinda covers the same ground as the other question). – kez May 29 '11 at 11:21
Ubuntu has it's own re-partitioner in the installing time. And it does exactly what you want. – oneat May 29 '11 at 11:33
Also, WUBI. No partitioning needed. – Soumya May 29 '11 at 18:29
