[TriLUG] need to rein in WinXP

[Chip Davis]

I just bought a new ThinkPad T30 which came with WindowsXP Pro installed.
Before I can install any OSes I trust (OS/2 Warp/EcomStation, RHL 9) I
need to curb XP's hegemony over the 60G disk.  The whole damn thing is
formatted as an NTFS C: drive.  XP doesn't take up but 5G (does MVS need
that much DASD space these days?) but then there's that peculiar matter
of the hidden "recovery partition".  

I have successfully used Partition Magic in the past to rein in Windows'
gluttony but that was before Linux.  Is there a better tool to use when
dealing with UNIX filesystems?

If not, does anyone have a copy of PM I could borrow just long enough to
spank Windows?

Thanks,
