Tim,
I like to use Bootit for this situation at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/
with this utility you can resize the partition and make room for the Linux
system. Below is a list of things that Bootit can do for you. A 30 trial of
the software is free.
Here's a list of some of the features you'll find in BootIt NG:
* Windows XP/2003 Compatible!
* USB 2.0 high speed support for imaging/partitioning.
* support for large hard drives (2 TB) and partitions (1-2 TB).
* non-destructive resizing and conversion for FAT/FAT32.
* non-destructive resizing for NTFS.
* creation and deletion of partitions/volumes.
* undelete partitions/volumes.
* FAT/FAT32 formatting
* copying and moving of partitions/volumes.
* support for Linux Ext2/Ext3 and ReiserFS file systems.
* Imaging (including directly to CD-R/RW or DVD+R+RW-R-RW)
* booting any partition on any hard drive
* booting from the CD ROM drive
* booting multiple operating systems from a single partition.
* create over 200 primary partitions (if desired).
* user id and password protection.
* free upgrades (1.00-1.99) (registration-key versions only)
* and lots more....

Subject: [PCBUILD] windows 2000 pro and partitions
I would like to delete my primary partition and repartiton the hard drive
for two primary partitions and an extended partion with logical drives for a
linux/win2k dual boot system.
I am used to dos and fdisk, but I cannot delete the primary win2k partition
using a win98se boot disk. The drive is currently formatted NTFS.
