Arun Subbiah's Notes

The hard disk on the HP Envy laptop comes with all four primary partitions being used. This post describes what I did to repartition and install Linux for dual boot.

1. Delete the third primary partition, called HP Recovery, after creating backup dvds. Boot into Windows and create backup dvds.
2. In Windows, defragment C:, then shrink the partition (using Disk Management). The partition can be shrunk to approximately half its size.
3. Install Linux, creating one extended partition. The Linux root dir, swap and other partitions can all be logical partitions in the extended partition.
