In addition to the partitioner in the SuSE installer, QTParted is a very good graphical partition tool. I had a need to reorganize my partitions a bit, booted the standalone Knoppix distro and ran qtparted.
However, no matter what tool you use, there is some risk.
I used the RIP iso to shrink my NTFS partition and create partitions for the installation of SuSE9.1 onto a Dell Inspiron 1150. Process went smoothly without a hitch. Both OS's have worked fine for about 3 weeks now. But to be truthful, I rarely boot the xp, to difficult to work with compared to SuSE9.1. You can get the iso at sunsite.rediris.es/sites2/ibiblio.org/linux/system/recovery The latest is RIP-10.2.iso.bin. Simply download that, remove the .bin and burn the rest to a cd. It will be bootable and has a whole bunch of programs useful to mess with your drives. Be sure to get the Readme.txt and read it BEFORE you do anything else, cause it will tell you about each program and how to use them. The readme even has a howto to boot it from a USB flash drive among other options. Regards, Richard
