Vista gets to the part where it has the green loading bar, and says (C) Microsoft corporation at the bottom. I have recently been trying to install linux on a seperate partition. There was some allocated space of like 7 gigs. I tried use some of...
Apologies in advance for the lengthy post.
I started out with one partition, c:, with XP Pro SP2. Then I created a new partition, onto which I installed Vista Ultimate. This installed the bootloader onto the active partition (c:). I also wanted to install linux, so I created an extended partition with two logical partitions on it, one for root and one for the swap file, onto which I installed Ubuntu 6.10. This installed Grub into the MBR. So I had Grub loading either Ubuntu or the Windows Vista bootloader, which in turn loaded XP or Vista.
I was not happy with this arrangement, so I deleted the partitions onto which Ubuntu and Vista had been installed, created a small partition at the beginning of the drive (before the XP partition), and followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=260772, which worked beautifully.
Hello. I installed windows vista. I wanted to enable Bitlocker but it says I need an extra partition. I have plenty of unpartitioned space on my hard drive (as I was going to install Linux as well). Can I simply create an extra NTFS partition to make Bitlocker work? Or is it too late now.
And secondly, does Vista have a tool or something to create extra partitions?
