I need to partition two hd's. One partition will be for WinXP, and I assume it must be NTFS. Other partitions to be FAT32.

I tried the trial version of zBoot and ended up having to re-install Windows. Don't want anything to do with Symantec (Partition Magic).

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Knoppix comes with Qtparted, cfdisk and fdisk.

Qtparted being the most friendly.

Thanks to you both. After reading several posts about problems using qtparted, crashes, couldn't reboot, etc, I was hesitant to try it. I ran it from Knoppix, shrunk my WinXP partition to 15GB and formatted the 2nd partition to Fat32. Worked like a charm, and no problems with Windows. Now to get Knoppix installed on the drive.
