One thing that I note - in using the xfce version of the Debian 7.4 amd64, I

was, in GNOME 2 on Debian 6.x), to edit the partitioning on a Win 8
computer, before installing anything else on that computer. I looked in both
the Systems -> Admin and Systems -> Preferences, and, in the System
Utilities components of the menus, for a disk utility, for editing the
partitions, but, could not find one.
Not by default, but what prevents you from installing gparted?
Kind regards,
Andrei
I was running it from the LIVE ISO disk - I wanted to repartition the
HDD, before commencing the installation (I wanted to try to install
another OS, before installing Debian Linux 7, so that I could pick up
the extra OS, with the GRUB bootloader scanning, when I installed Debian
Linux 7).
I intend to look at it again, during next week; I believe that the
partitioning during the (aborted) installation process, should have
effected.
From memory, gparted was included in the Debian 6 and/or Debian 5 LIVE
ISO images, but, I could be wrong in that belief.
I assume that the ommission of gparted from the Debian 7.4 amd64 xfce
LIVE ISO, is because gparted is a utility from the GNOME desktop
environment, and that xfce does not have an equivalent utility. Once
again, I could be wrong in that perception.
