[ILUG] Dual Boot hp dx2420

[ILUG] Dual Boot hp dx2420

Parted can resize your windows "C" drive, and then you can install
linux on the free space.

Windows will automagically fsck a few times assuming its a win7
install to correct the fs post shrink.

Any recent distro will be able to do this for you.
