<i>Ok. I have a 40gb hard drive, on which 13.4 GB is used by my current windows xp install and all my proggies. There is only one partition on this drive: the C partition. What I want to do it set aside 5gb of this partition into another (to install knoppix on). Is this even possible?</i>

I am apologetic here. I didn't really read your initial post.

Bottom line is, you want to creat another partition. Right?

You could do fdisk, and lose everything. Or, once again, Partition <a href="http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/">magic</a>. It is not too <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-6006594-9267239">expensive</a>.

Have fun, good luck. email me if there is a problem.
