Hello!
Welcome to Linux Lite.
Unfortunately, one has to plan a dual Windows/Linux install carefully in advance. A number of people have 'gotten it wrong', and have had their Windows partition disappear on them. Perhaps the whole procedure should be explained better, with the risks more clearly emphasized.
Gold_finger has done an outstanding job in creatinga tutorial concerning this issue. If it hasn't been done already, perhaps his tutorial should be incorporated into the user manual.
In a nutshell, one shrinks the Windows partition to accommodate the Linux install with the Partition Editor on the Live CD, reboots into Windows to let a CHKDSK run to verify the shrunken Windows partition, reboot into the Live CD again, select 'Something Else' when installing Linux Lite, create a swap partition at least equal to the amount of RAM, and using the rest of the newly-freed space for Linux Lite...
