[OS:N:] Open source software similar to PartitionMagic needed

[Sivakumaran Raman <allo976 yahoo com>]

I am presently using Red Hat 7.3 as a dual-booting
system with Windows XP on an emachines T1400 computer.
The computer came only with restore CDs (not
installation CDs) for Windows XP and to create a new
partition I had to buy PartitionMagic 7.0. This is
because tools like fips do not work with the NTFS
partitions that Windows XP gives by default. Since I
had only the restore CDs (and not the installation
CDs), I could not reinstall Windows XP using a FAT32
file system. 

I feel that an open source software package like
PartitionMagic is needed that is able to work with
NTFS partitions in order to simplify the dual-booting
process for users (at no extra cost). Maybe Red Hat
can develop something like that. 

I am sorry if this is not the exact forum for posting
this message---but I am a member of other mailing
lists too and I still had no idea where to make this
request.
