How to create Linux partition on a XP workstation?

Hi,

Our lab has a computer with both XP and Linux partitions setup long time ago. We need to create Redhat Linux partition for new people on a couple more other PCs with XP.

Any advice or pointers on related info would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

if others PC is a single partition than you have to
1. format & repartition...
or
2. use windows partition tool (partitian magic or etc) to reduce size of windows partitions

There is a tool that comes with your distor normally the first CD has a dir that says dosutils under there u will find a tool that says fips.exe this is a partitioning tool but beware before u start make sure u backup all your valuable data just incase. Partion magic is excellent but u need to buy it the one I mentioned works fine and is free as beer

cheers
