[SLUG] Partitioning software

[Leslie Katz]

I recently shrank the NTFS partition which occupied the whole of my 
(then sole) hard drive, preparatory to installing Linux on the 
released space. I used FIPS, which worked very well. Things I read 
made a big deal of using scandisk and defrag before shrinking any 
Windows partition, so I did that. I don't suppose it could hurt to do 
it, even on a hard drive that hasn't been used by you after you buy 
it, since who knows how the preloaded things were installed?
