As for backing up yourexisting Windows system I strongly recommend a program called Image Cast 4.5. It allows you to make images of your Windows or linux partitions, burn them to a cd, and use them to do system restores. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Murphy To: Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2002 7:23 PM Subject: Partitioning a drive with windows already on it? > Hi listers. > I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous new year. > Here's what I wanted to do, but I'm not sure if I can do it.
