Repartition hd for WinXP

mpn · 11-26-2004, 11:16 PM

I summon your knowledge.

On my hard drive I currently have all 80 GB dedicated to Slackware Linux. It's divided into /, /home, /boot, and swap partitions.

I've just decided that I want to have a 10 GB Windows partition for playing games and playing with some Windows-only software (e.g., Photoshop). Is there any Linux application that would allow me to repartition to make this installation possible?

If it's not possible, could someone explain the reason why?

Thanks.

qtparted will do the trick. Just resize the target partition or move all of the data to another partition and change the fstab. After you finish, run WIndows install then boot Slackware from the install cd and reconfigure lilo. Should work fine.
