disk boot question

[Harry Kuhman]

1 - resize your NTFS partition
2 - create a linux partition
3 - install Knoppix

Alternately, I would suggest:

 1 - resize your NTFS partition
 2 - create a FAT partition
 3 - install Knoppix EDIT: Warning - see my next post below

Knoppix can write to the FAT partition just fine (it cannot safely write to the NTFS partition, which is why rwcitek indicated that you needed to make space). With a FAT partition you will be able to move files back to Windows if needed, something you will not be able to do if you make a Linux partition.

One tool that will let you resize the NTFS partition is Partition MAgic. Unfortunately it is not free. I don't know of any free tool like it in the Windows world, but you can always search.
