After that, reboot, and you'll be prompted to uninstall UNetbootin click OK and that will undo the changes to the Windows bootloader. In GParted, shrink your Windows partition using the resize option, then create a new partition in the free space (which you will be using for PCLinuxOS). This will boot you into an environment from which you can start up GParted.
UNETBOOTIN CD INSTALL
This step resizes your Windows install and creates partitions into which PCLinuxOS can be installed (since you will be unable to resize the partition equivalent to Windows C:\ while in the UNetbootin-booted PCLinuxOS Live environment). Note: You can also skip this step if you only want to use PCLinuxOS in Live mode, already have spare partitions into which you can install PCLinuxOS into, or will be booting PCLinuxOS in "copy2ram" mode (but you'll need at least 1GB RAM for that). See the UNetbootin site for details/instructions however this guide will cover installation from Windows Step 1: Partitioning your Disks Windows 2000 or above (Windows 95/98/ME are not supported) Windows is NOT strictly required UNetbootin can also be run from an existing Linux install, or can create bootable liveUSB drives. It basically adds a boot entry to Windows that allows you to boot into the PCLinuxOS Live environment (although PCLinuxOS is loaded from the hard drive, not CD), from which you can either do a standard installation or just use it in Live mode. Note that if you have a USB drive handy, and your computer can boot from USB, the LiveUSB guide (which instead creates a liveUSB drive to boot and install from) will likely work better. This is crucial, as files can be lost otherwise. It is a good idea to run the disk defragmenter in windows a couple of times before shrinking the windows partitions.

This uses UNetbootin to automate and simplify the process of performing a no-CD installation from Windows. This guide is for people who want to install PCLinuxOS but can't use the LiveCD approach, either because they don't have a CD drive or don't have or want to use a spare CD.
