“After booting up the computer from the Linux Mint 10 CD or DVD
into the Live environment, begin the installation process by
clicking on the Install Linux Mint icon on the desktop. The image
below shows the third step of that installation process. The first
option shows that the installer has detected another operating
system on the hard drive. Click on the Forward button to go to the
next step.“The test installation used for this tutorial was in a virtual
environment with about 75 GB of disk space. Windows 7 was installed
on this hard drive. The installer automatically shrinks the space
occupied by Windows 7 to make room for Mint. The size it allocates
to Mint depends on the size of the hard drive. You can resize it by
positioning the cursor between both sections as shown below and
dragging to the left or right.”
