I'm essentially a Linux n00b, I played around with RedHat 6 a year ago, but my friend showed me Knoppix on his machine and I fell in love.

Anyways, my question is, is it possible to run Linux and WinXP off of the same hard drive on different partitions? If so, is there any way for me to create a new partition with a different filesystem without having to reformat?

I don't have the rescue/repair disc for my XP, so I'm a bit worried about it

Any help would be appreciated
