The partition structure is independent of the type of file system created on those partitions. I.e., it is not necessary to repartition a drive (that's already partitioned) in order to install Linux.
It may be unnecessary to repartition on Linux-ready system, than already has ext partitions.
On typical Home Windows systems, when there is one single big 200 GB hard drive and 200 GB NTFS partition on it, like 99% of all world's Home PCs those days shipped, you _can not_ install a Linux on such a typical system without repartitioning it first.
Why not?
Have you worked with _typical_ Windows systems ever ?
Why would I? ... I mean, "yes, I have." I've installed Windows. I use Windows. I use Windows daily. But "typical" is undefined. Your typical could be my esoteric, and vice versa.
