Re: Installation Question

What does that mean? do you mean I HAVE to create a new
partition? I mean i have already around 6GBs of free memory on
the C partition, and that is the only partition I have.
Unused space on a Windows partition is already reserved for the
use of Windows, it's not free to be used for Linux installation.
Do i
have to re-align these 6 gigs to be a new partition on their
own?
You must shrink your Windows partition to create free,
unpartitioned space on the disk.
Can't linux installation just manage it and do the work
(ie: create partition, format and install)
Yes, after you have manually created the space necessary for
that. Fedora installer won't resize your existing Windows
partition.
One more question, if i do have to do the above mentioned
manually, any ideas how i can do it without losing the rest of
the data on the partition, ie without losing the data other
than the 6 gigs?
Use commercial tools like Partition Magic or Acronis Disk
Director, or the free NTFS Resize program:
