I have another computer running Win98 SE with a 20 GB drive in it. I am currently running Zipspeak on it, but I would like to install a full Linux system on it. My question is, is there a utility out there that will let me create a partition or partition from the free space? I can't really blow away the existing W98 partition because whistling up Sighted assistance to reinstall Windows isn't really a practical option. I had thought of zipping my entire Windows folder, but I don't know if it would run once restored. Has anyone ever done this before, and if there is a way, how could I do it? thanks.
