Does anyone know of a free tool to resize an NTFS partition on a hard drive in preparation for installing fedora to dual boot?
I have researched fips, parted, partition magic, and others and so far the only one I can find that will allow resizing of the NTFS partition is PM (not free).
I am installing Fedora for a customer on her laptop and have previously not needed to handle NTFS partitions, but now I have this one to deal with.
You might want to look at QtParted:
<http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/index.en.html>. I successfully shrank
an NTFS partition from an existing Windows XP Home installation so that
I could dual boot Fedora Core 1 for running MythTV.
QTParted is included with SystemRescueCD (http://www.sysresccd.org/) if you'd like a handy, self-contained, bootable CD from which to run QTParted.
I would just make sure that you back up anything vital, just in case.
Absolutely...
