I have a 2 Tb HDD and I wanted to partition it about 50 GB for Ubuntu and the rest for Windows 8. But I can't seem to be able to move the slider any less than 100 GB for Ubuntu?

enter image description here

PS I have already tried to do an advanced partition but I don't want to mess up.

  • Boot from Ubuntu-live-disk (Ubuntu installation disk).

  • Click on try Ubuntu option on startup.

  • After the desktop loads, open gparted partition editor from dash.If it's not there then install it by running the below commands,

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gparted
    
  • Now open gparted partition editor.Right click on the 1862 GB partition and select Resize/Move option. Make sure that all the partitions are unmounted, so that only resizing will takes place.

  • Shrink it's space to get 50 GB of free space.

  • Right-click on the free-space and select new option to create a new ext4 partition for Ubuntu.

  • Now run the Ubuntu installer and choose something else option to install Ubuntu on the newly created ext4 partition.
