problem of creating extended partition
Hi, my laptop already has 4 partitions (please refer to the attached screenshot) and I want to dual boot ubuntu. I was planning to create an extended partition of 20gb in D:
I read this tutorial's method two (Partition / Extended : Logical Drives).
But I'm not sure if it will work for my situation because it wrote :
"If you do not have the Windows System Reserved or a System Primary partition completely separate from the Windows 7 partition present that is marked as the "System" partition in disk management do not attempt this, if you do Windows will not boot as Windows will not/is not able to boot / start independently from an Extended partition Logical drive, the system boot files must be stored on a Primary partition to execute."
The windows system is not completely separate, and my D drive is also primary. So I'm a bit confused and I'm not sure if my laptop can follow this method or not. Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance :)
