partitions

["Vij Chau" <java_bea hotmail com>]

Guys,

I want to use 10 gb of free space on my xp (NTFS) in linux.

Any suggesstions on hw to do so??

I was thinking using something like partition magic to

1. seperate 10 gb into a partition, format it and mount it as a seperate
drive in linux

2. seperate 10 gb into a partition and use partition magic to expand my
/root

Any suggesstions which is better? Also how do i add the new partition to
linux when i boot automatically?
Any other software that will do the same job as partition magic??

Thanks in advance
