You can select the partition as ntfs, resize the partition to 470GB.

So I click the /dev/sdb4, "change..." button, comes up "edit partition" dialog.

But after selecting "use as" to "NTFS" , there is no option for me to resize the C partition to 470GB.

So, what should I do to create a 10GB free space disk?

Could you please tell me which buttons I should hit to get over this problem?

All buttons are showed in the pictures I have uploaded at:

Which button should I hit?.

OK, I chose "something else" , because I cannot choose "replace windows 8 with Ubuntu".

I click "continue", so I faced the dialog (as the two pictures in previous question show).

I do not know which buttons should I hit.

This is the picture: enter image description here

Still I donot know why. here is a better way to avoid such questions:

1.creat a new disk (40GB size or other size you want) in windows 8.

2.boot from USB disk.

problem solved.
