I have a friend who is getting very frustrated with his windows 2000 pro install, and is seriously considering install knoppix.

My question(s) concern qtparted, and the stability to resize an NTFS partition.

He has alot of windos data (text/pics/etc) from the past that he doesnt' want to lose, and I want to make sure that it's pretty idiot proof, so I don't lose any of his data.

Are there any special considerations, gotchas, etc I should be aware of, before I attempt to repartition his drive, and bring him into the Linux/debian/knoppix world?

Thanks
