If you have a little patients and read through slowly you can do it. Just ensure you allocate three partitions. I first allocated the space I needed in windows using easuse partitioner. The Gpart that comes with MEPIS will allow you simply to adjust and slide the amount of space you require. Make the first allocated space your root file for all your programs. Then allocate the second to SWAP (thats used for memory) and the third is your home file. Sounds difficult but play around with it, but obviously don't over write the your Windows OS. Then finalised the partitions in MEPIS setup. Not that difficult after you have done it but I agree if you have never challenged this area before it does look very daunting. Just backup you windows before doing anything, just to be on the safe side and when you have done it you will be proud of yourself because you have achieved something you have never done before. Worth a drink I would say. Let us know how you get on or you need help
