I have 4 partitions on my C drive. I may need to reduce that down to three to create a partition for Linux Mint 17.3 (dual boot setup), but might be able to work with what I currently have. My current partitions are viewed as follows with Disk Manager:
Starting from the left part of the Disk Manager window, and going to the right side
1) 13.67 GB Recovery Partition
2) 100 MB System Active Primary Partition
3) C drive - 142.16 GB Boot, Crash Dump, Pate File, Primary Partition
4) D drive 775.58 GB Primary Partition (there is no data in this partition, at all)
Can I use the D drive (which is on the same HDD as the other three partitions) for installing Linux? Since it's empty, I thought I might be able to install it there. Or, I might have to get rid of one of the partitions. That question brought me to this forum.
Thank you for any help you can give me. Much appreciated.
