That's a relief, gold_finger....
I sort-of guessed you were looking at an image or screenshot of something other than my hard drive. Glad the mystery is solved.
Thanks for those very clear guidance steps. I'm off to read up on the GParted tutorial to make sure I understand what all that I am about to do, so things may go quiet for a litttle while.
PS: As I delve into the new world of partitioning, dual booting and all that, I am finding it increasingly interesting.
I have only just discovered, for example, that it is possible to run some Linux OSs from a USB stick (=pendrive/thumbdrive), and that this supposedly runs almost as quick as installing it as a dual boot on the C drive, and certainly a lot quicker than a LiveCD session from a CD. As I have two laptops, this has a certain appeal - and also means I don't have to rush into partitioning, installing and dual booting on either machine's hard drive. So I may go down the USB road first. On that subject, I read your note in this thread https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index...opic=210.0. So I may want to check back on that one specific point you mention about taking care over where exactly to put the bootloader of the Linux OS that is on the USB stick.
