Ok ive got an 80 gig hard drive with about 40 a piece to windows and linux. windows has a 15 for the OS and the rest for storage. Im running out of space on both the os part and the storage and i want to move some from linux. i tried qtpart or whatever its called before when i was doing something similar and it messed up my linux partition. is there a tool out there that workls good for thiese kinds of things. i dont want to have to reformat either one.

Your best bet is to use a proprietary propgram like Partition Commander or the like...
Mandrake's DiskDrake does a good job of moving things safetly, but I haven't seen it's functionality in any other Linux-based OpenSource Tool,... especially for a distro like Gentoo.
I just resized the reiserfs partition on my laptop to make room to install Mandrake Linux AMD64. I used the resize tool in the setup ( It's called diskdrake ). My SuSE installation was OK after being resized by this tool. Perhaps downloading the Mandrake Live CD and using this tool will work for you.
Mandrake 9 should work. Just don't go past the partition resizing stage in the setup. I believe the the program they use to resize the partition was written by 'partition magic'.
so are you saying i should boot up nto the mandrake 9 cd and go through it liek iw as installin git and just stiop after i finish resizing the partition? will that mes sup anything?
