[aclug-L] XP / Linux dualboot

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I just got a new computer at work (yay!).  It's an eMachine (eww!).  It
runs Windows XP (eww!).  I have the liberty to install Liux (yay!).  But I
have to keep Windows on it, still (eww!).  The drive is partitioned with
NTFS (ugh).  FIPS doesn't like NTFS (damn!).  PartitionMagic isn't free
(damn!).

Is it possible to convert an NTFS partition to FAT32 in XP, run FIPS, then
convert back?  Or... isn't there a limited versin of PartitionMagic that
comes with RH (andother distros?)?  Does it support NTFS resizing?

If I can't do either of these, I guess I'll get to repartition then
reinstall XP... and hope the eMachines restore disk doesn't undo the
partitions I set up.
