Upgrading space for mint4win

[grimdestripador]

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.
