I have a 40GB hard drive with 26GB free with a single partition with an ntfs file system that I want to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 on.
If I resize the windows partition for the installation, will the partition erase my data?
EDIT: The hard drive has no OS on it.
EDIT: Solved, I partitioned the hard-drive into two 20GB partitions and successfully installed Ubuntu without losing any data.
