    Hi All,

    Im trying to create a new partician on my Xp box so as to install Linux. I have the 1 partician on the box at the min, and it has all of the space. Is there a way to decrease the size of the primary partician so I can create a new partician for linux?

    I know i can use partician magic, but I dont have a copy ATM!

    Thanks!

    Depending on what flavour of Linux you opt for most have a utility for resizing partitions.
    Obtain Partition magic tho it's easier imo.
