Resizing Your Partition

The JDS installation program chooses a layout for your partitions that it believes makes sense for your disk. If you have reasons to change the partitions, you can do so before installation. (Once installation is complete, you can’t change the partitions safely without wiping out your data.)

The following procedure outlines how to resize the partitions:

  1. From the Installation Settings dialog, select Partitioning, select “Base partition setup on this proposal” option, and click Next.

  2. Highlight the partition that you want to resize and click Resize.

  3. Use the slider to set how much space you want to allocate to your Windows partition and your Linux partition and click OK.

    Click Next to save the partition table and return to the Installation Settings screen.

Tip

The minimum allocation of space for Linux is 3024 MB.
