Ok. So i guess some of you read my post about recovering my windows partition. Well I could not get that working, so i Formated.

I have re-installed windows XP. and again am planning on installing SUSE 9.1 alongside it.

When i try to partition my hdd using the suse YaST tool, it wants to devide my HDD by half. 60 gigs for windows, and 60 gigs for linux. i dont wanna give linux that much. i wanna give linux only 10 gigs, and 110 for windows. But when i try to partition my NTFS HDD, it tells me that it cannot resize a mounted partition.

I'm too scared to do it via FDisk as i've had a bad experience with this.
Will partition magic be able to do this?

Else please help with this whole partitioning.

regards,
Mo
