Guys,

I'm asking this so I don't make a huge mistake by messing my current installation of Windows 7 64bit.

I want to dual boot W7 and Linux on my laptop which has one SATA drive.

The SATA drive (120GB) is 100% NTFS with W7 installed. I want to use 10GB for a linux install but I'm not confident at how I do this without killing my current W7 setup.

I've tried to research it and think I have come up with the following;

I can use Paragon Partition Manager to resize my W7 partition from 120GB to 110GB but Linux won't install to the remaining 10GB as it will be NTFS still.

Advice please -

p.s - has anyone tried compiling a Gingerbread/ICS ROM on a lower end laptop (2Ghz CPU/2GB RAM)

Cheers all :p
