Dude, I'm getting a Dell! It's gonna come with Vista, and I have to use it that way for work. But I want to put a Linux partition on there. So I need to repartition.
Having learned to be cautious, I'm wondering if there is a good open-source way to back up about 300GB of NTFS such that I can restore fairly smoothly. It has to be fairly fast, so file-by-file copies are probably going to suck. I'll have 100MB ethernet to a big-enough drive. Then, I'm wondering about partitioning tools. I can use PartitionMagic 7.0. I've heard of gparted, but not used it. Any advice? TIA ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
