Hi, when I did that my first time I used partition magic, and everything went
ok. However, last week a friend did the same and his windows partition got
damage. So be careful, specially if you don't have backups.

Kinda similar to the other thread by Jose Sanchez, I have a dual-boot WinXP/Suse 9.0 system, and I need to take hdd space from the Windows side and give it to Linux.
I found a program named ntfsresize that could reduce the NTFS partition, but I think it's intended for systems where Windows is using all the disk space in one big partition and the user wants to reduce it, then create Linux partitions.
QTParted can probably do some of this, but it doesn't look like it can resize Ext2/Ext3 partitions. I'm not sure if that's even what my Linux install is using, it could be ReiserFS - how can I find out? (I'm new to Linux, can ya tell...)
Worst case I can always pick up a copy of Partition Magic, install that under Windows, and do my resizing, but I'd rather boot from a live CD like Knoppix and use a Linux tool for this.
Thanks,
Dan
