I have a friend who has a new box with XP personal installed. He is keen to try Linux. If I give him 9.2 will it be safe to use yast to resize his existing NTFS XP. Has anybody done it yet ? Is it ok ?
I resized an NTFS partition on XP from the live-eval CD of 9.2 and everything went fine. XP wanted to check the integrity of the partition after I rebooted but that went fine. I haven't done an NTFS resize from the install DVD. I was forced to do the resize so I just went ahead and did it, but if you have anything critical on the disks I would wait for other people's experiences to make sure that there haven't been some unpleasant surprises.
