G'day list,

I'm thinking this question's probably come up here before, but I'm going to pose it anyway; I've got a Compaq Presario 2140 with Windows XP installed, and I'd like to install Gentoo without wiping and repartitioning. Can anyone recommend any free tools that they've found reliable for resizing partitions for use with WinXP and Gentoo? I'd appreciate any advise you've got to give.


parted (or qtparted) is easy to use, doesn't require defaging and has never done any harm to me.

Thanks to everyone for the tips. I'm having the same problem with qtparted and ntfsresize; ntfsresize tells me, "Windows wasn't shut down properly or inconsistent filesystem", and qtparted gives me a similar message. I defragged and error-checked my XP NTFS partition, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Does anyone know what might cause this to happen?

Thanks,
