Repartitioning my drive*

Ok, I have my compaq laptop with windows professional gold reloaded and I dont want to loose it but I only have one partition

I got a 38GB drive with 26GB free space so how do I repartition it before installing gentoo and how do I make gentoo share the bootloader?

DO you have 26 GB of 'free space', or do you have 26 GB of formatted disk that Windows is currently not using?

26GB that windows uses....

so it is free space

I need to resize the partition to be like 15GB's then make the rest "free non used space" or I gues acclocated space and partition the drive?
