== Shrink or Resize the Windows 7 Partition ==The safest and simplest way to partition your drive is to use the Windows 7 "Disk Management" program, to shrink your existing windows partition. To access this program, click the Windows icon in the bottom left and in the text box which says "Search programs and files," type in "Disk Management" in this box, and press enter.Windows 7 puts two partitions on your hard drive: one, about 100 MB in size, holding system restoration data and the primary windows installation partition.== How to Dual-boot Linux and Windows (on a PC with Windows 7 already installed) ==Choose a Linux distribution.  For example, Ubuntu.  Boot the PC from the Linux installation media, such as a DVD or USB Flash Drive.Be sure that when it asks you where you want to install Ubuntu, you select the option to install side-by-side with your other OS, using the free space available.  When it's down, shutdown your computer and remove the installation media. When you boot back up, you should have a choice between Ubuntu Linux or Windows.During installation of Linux we will not be creating a separate swap partition.
