With this being a dual-boot computer, having only one permanent storage device (the \
one hard drive), no other computers, and not being able to make a live boot, it seems \
best to not try changing the partitioning.  It seems too risky.  I hope that someday \
I'll get a new computer.  Then I'll (hopefully) install (including partitioning) it \
                more wisely.
