Hello Bill,
Personally, I would make a back up copy of your data because it will be
destroy all data on the partition you are planning to install Linux on.
Dueing the installation, I use the partitioning tool to resize my
smaller partitions i.e. /boot /root /usr /swap and /home
However, for all partitions, I would use Partition Magic 6. It is
reasonably safe and yes, it is compatible with win2K & winme.
