I want to install Ubuntu alongside of Windows, but there's a 4 primary partitions limit. So there's:
BIOS_RVY (10GB)
System (100MB) (Windows)
(C:) Windows
(D:) Data
I'm not sure what to do in this situation. This is my girlfriend's laptop and she doesn't want to remove MSI's pre-installed recovery partition, even though I'm pretty sure she's never used it. What is it exactly? Also, does Grub render Windows's "System" partition redundant?
