Thanks to all for the feedback.
To be specific - I *know* that I can resize the partition.
I'm concerned that since Mandrake/Linux has trouble with
NTFS, Linux will have trouble creating an MBR(master boot record)
that can boot a Win/NTFS partition.
Can anyone verify that lilo or grub can boot a Windoze OS that
resides on an NTFS partition?
Thanks again in advance,
-Mark
