Re: Partitioning for Dual Boot and Development

Well this is not going to be easy
No problems deleting F and have a lot of unallocated space - do that right away...
BUT:
The tmp partition D is the extended partition (You should just know how much problems I've got with drive letters....)
Without logical partitions....
To do any partitioning you should have the extended partition at the end i.e. where F is now
I don't think you can change which partition is the extended and this means you have to move D. As there is data in E this will take "forever" (leave it over night ...)
Once you have the extended at the rear you extend it to cover the rest of the disk (done in seconds without any partitions present)
Make logical partitions to your need
Swap, Mint and data partitions
