| 888674 | 2010-05-27 22:32:00 | I am looking at buying a netbook and they all come with MS 7 or XP operating system. What is the best way partition the hard disk so I can install Linux without destroying the MS system and to finally be able to use either system. Any ideas? |

| 888675 | 2010-05-27 23:35:00 | Easus Partition Manager (http://www.partition-tool.com/) is what I use. Created a partition on my laptop and installed ubuntu 10.04. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 888676 | 2010-05-27 23:38:00 | Try not to destroy any hidden partitions. Easus is fine. I use it from time to time. |
