It will display whole Hard Disk Drives attached to your computer/Laptop. Right click on a partition and select shrink volume. ( Do not create large number of primary partitions.)

It will open new window. Type the amount of space you are going to allocate for Ubuntu in MB. At least MB (30GB) is required for IT@School Ubuntu Installation. You can increase the space as per your needs.

After pressing the shrink button it will take some time to shrink the volume. After shrinking the new space will be seen in black colour. This is where you are going to install IT@School Ubuntu

Troubleshooting : If you failed to shrink volume follow these steps. Open Command Prompt as administrator.

And run the command chkdsk /r and press enter. It will ask to check for errors in the next reboot. Press y and enter.
