Beginning the installation of Mageia on my zenbook UX32VD I face a beginner issue: disk partitioning.
I do that rarely, partitioning the disk. In fact last time I did it was more than 2 years ago when I installed mandriva free 2010. On my zenbook UX32VD there is 24GB of SSD (contains nothing apparently) and a 500GD HDD.
But the HDD is full of window (yeak).
It is made in the following way and in that order on the disk (seen from Mageia):
/media/win_: 200MB
/sda2: 128MB
/media/win_c: 186GB
/media/win_d: 254GB
/media/win_e: 25GB (recovery)
Can I whip out the recovery? I think so.
The data, yes, no problem, I think I can resize it to the minimum, even delete it.
win_c is way to big. Or does windows 7 take that much storage place??
But resizing this will damage the installed window, won't it? How to make sure of the size to which I can resize this win_c while making sure windrose still works (I still need it once every other month)?
