during install on another computer (I want dual boot - "Something else") the actual partition sda3 is ntfs formatted. It has 12Gb, about 10gb used.
Looking at gParted in the live iso sda3 is "Recovery image".
Question 1: I have backups of the Windows 7 data and system on external drive. Do I need to retain this "sda3 NTFS Recovery Image" in order to continue using the Windows 7 partition, or can I safely install LL 4.0 in sda3 ?
Computer is a HP Elitebook.
Assuming I do not need to retain "recovery image" ....
... during install (dry run) when I select dev/sda3 > Change, I get options as per manual, ie Use as: ext4etc; Format; mount point: / I also get SIZE: 12000 with - +
Question 2: is this + where I increase the Partition to the size I want, eg 50gb ?
It's well over a year since I did a dual boot install from scratch, I don't remember it being like this.
Thanks for the excellent help I know I'll get shortly.
