Hello. I have a new computer that came configured with windows XP on an ntfs 5 partition, and I wanted to install debian.. I do not wish to format and repartition.. Instead I want to use partition magic off of a boot floppy to split the partition.. Will Windows XP notice that the partition is smaller? It is a 40G HD and I wish to devote about 5 GB to Linux.. What are my options any pointers? ------------------------- Patrick Turnage e-mail:pturnage at tampabay.rr.com Telephone: (850) 459-7717 HomePage: http://www.access-connect.com Amateur radio callsign:kg4dqk AOL Instant Messenger:kg4dqk icq:26862191 MSN:turnagep at hotmail.com Yahoo!:kg4dqk America Online:kg4dqk1129 kg4dqk1129 at aol.com
