Well say your whole drive is in one partition and it has windowss on it, there is no room for another because it is full.

Pretend:
Drive size is 40GB

Windows Partiton takes up 40GB so there is no room for another, we resize it to make it smaller, say 20GB.

Total Size: 40GB
Windows part size: 20GB
Free Space : 20GB

When we make our partiitions we make it look liek this:

Total Size: 40 GB
Windows Part Size: 20 GB
Linux Part size: 19.5 GB
Linux Swap Size : 512 MB
