Perhaps someone will correct me, but I'm aware of any free tools that resize ntfs. Partition Magic does, though. Also, make more than one partition for Linux. You want your /home on a separate partition for the long term. Heck, you might even want it to be a VFAT partition, so the files on it will be visible under both OS, but then I also have heard rumors of a Win plugin that reads ext2, so maybe not. Beyond this I can't help. I haven't touched Windows in over a year.

I am trying to duel boot Fedora Core 3 along side Windows 2000 which is on a 40 GB NTFS partition. I have tried using tools such as Partition Magic to resize the main partition to make room for Linux, but for some reason when I reboot the system the changes don't take. I recall reading about NTFS, which is a Linux tool designed to safely resize NTFS partitions when preparing to install a secondary operating system. I was wondering if any of the Linux tools such as NTFSresize have been speech-enabled or come on a rescue disk which contains Speakup or other screen reading system. I'd really like to get a working Linux install on this machine if at all possible.
