[NBLUG/talk] Dual-Booting/XP repartition

[Dave Sisley]

Hi, guys:
I'll just say this up front:  This is more of a <gasp> windows </gasp> 
question, but I only ask it because what I *really* want to run is linux.

I just got a new dell with XP pre-loaded and I (of course!) want to put 
RH8 on it ASAP in a dual boot setup.  I'm having trouble with the 
repartitioning of the HD, however.  It's a 30G drive with gobs of room.

Does anyone know of a 'simple' way to repartition the drive without:
- buying PartitionMagic
- Reinstalling XP

Unfortunately I've been googling my googles off and those look like my 
only choices.  I really can't just wipe out XP (my wife will want to use 
it...). I don't want to pay $70 for software, and I'm afraid it won't be 
so easy to reinstall (I'm not sure If the CDs in the dell box will be a 
full install or just the basics...). Am I missing some elegant open 
source solution?

Thanks!
