That resizes your window partition to create an unpartitioned area, then creates a new partition there for Linux. If you choose to delete the Linux partition, you can resize it back to its original size with partitionmagic.
Your winxp partition must be fat or fat32 formatted to work w/ Mandrake's resize option. If its NTFS, you'll need partitionmagic.
