It looks as though I cannot shrink the partition at all. I have booted 
with the CD and the partitions are unmounted...but I am still unable to 
shrink the the 465 gig one. I cannot change the size settings in the 
resize dialog box....so I'm going to format the whole thing and start 
again. There is nothing much on it that needs to be saved.

I might be able to install Win10 although I heard it is really lousy. I 
am very happy with Linux.
