Partitioning HD

i want to install linux (mandrake) on my Win box. Is there a way to partition w/o data loss?

thansk

what win?

there are tools.

if you’ve got a fat16 or fat32 partition use
the partition resizer at www.zeleps.com

and if you’ve got win xP, or 2000 using ntfs, you’ll need to shell out for partitionmagic or buy yourself a new hard drive.

i remember buying a boxed version of mandrake which had partition magic (slightly crippled) bundled. do they still do that?
