Upgrading space for mint4win

[Ukuntu]

When I installed mint4win I only set it up with 15GB of space, and I was wondering if there is a way to modify it so that I can give more space to mint?

Also, I burned mint to a CD, but for some reason its not bootable? I've checked my bios settings to make sure theres not a problem there, but still a no go?

Modifying your partition table is about the most risky thing you can do to you data. BE SURE IT IS BACKED UP.
But yeah. Boot from your live CD. Navigate to >> LM Menu:Adminstration:Partition Editor. Now choose your Windows Partition, Click edit, reduce the size. Click LM partition, Click edit, and increase the size. This WILL TAKE HOURS. You computer most likely won't crash but will behave as if it was. To make it faster. I'd just delete the LM partition. Reduce the size of WIndows, then reinstall LM on your free space.

How did you burn the CD? I've found that I have had limited success when I would extract the .iso contents and then burn them with regular software.

If burning from Windows, I recommend downloading PowerISO, and burning the iso to a cd directly.

Anytime you shrink a Windows partition you should defrag it at least once before you begin. You have been forewarned.

You should never extract an ISO unless your destination is to USB.

I had burned the CD with Alcohol 52%...rather than using that one again, I burned another CD with ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) and it burned it perfectly.

Now I'm facing another issue. For some reason when I boot from the CD and go through the install process, I tell it that I want the boot loader on the linux partition, but when it reboots it just goes straight into windows...anyways, I'm going to go search the forums for this problem.

check boot order in bios.

bios was fine, not sure what was going on, but after a couple more attempts it worked fine. Thanks though!
