1 TB hdd and no space to create a partition for linux !
- by rangalo
I have a brand new Acer aspire 5811 with core i5 processor and all that.
There is windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed on it. I want to install arch and setup a dual boot system.
The problem is:
Windows shows 4 partitions
14 MB UNKNOWN recovery partition
100MB NTFS System Reserved partition for Windows 7
448GB NTFS Windows 7 system partition
468GB NTFS Data partition for windows 7
But GpartedLive cd and also arch setup show 5 partitions
938Kb UNKOWN system reserved partition
14 MB UNKNOWN recovery partition
100MB NTFS System Reserved partition for Windows 7
448GB NTFS Windows 7 system partition
468GB unusable space
Because of this, I cannot create another primary partition.
Can any body guide me about how should I go for creating partition for installing arch ?
Note: I need to keep windows 7 working.
regards.
