When it comes time to install Linux in dual-boot mode, I always use thatopportunity to blow away Windoze and do a fresh install on a portion ofthe disk before letting Linux have the rest. After a few months Windozecan get loaded up with a lot of junk and get slow and quirky.
If for some reason you can't do that, then the Partition Magic routealso works. But...back up the Windoze data first. PM is not always100% fool-proof.
