Hi all, The first step in preparing a windows machine for dual booting seems to be to resize the partition containing windows to release sufficient disk space for the Linux I wish to install. I assume parted is the tool of choice to resize an ntfs partition. But how do I assure that data are not lost in doing so? What tool will move all the windows data into the reduced partition size? A few tips would be appreciated, this is new territory for me. Thanks, -- Chuck in Hudson.
