Hey everyone
I have a Windows 7 laptop and want to install Linux on it as well, when i tried to do it through the disc, it didn't work so i decided to shrink one of my partitions so i have 20GB free to install it on a new partition unfortunately i already have 4 partitions and don't know if I should delete one of them so i can create a new one.
Thanks in advance

You could probably get rid of Diag, i take it your computer is a OEM machine. The diag partition should have programs used to diagnose problems, which you could probably get rid of. Dont delete the 100MB partition.

Ah ok, but is there one of the partitions that i can delete, I've got a 100 Mb one that is flagged as boot, another that's over 200Gb which i assume is the main storage, a 40Gb one that's for backup, and a 1Gb which is flagged as "diag"
