To split up such a partition, you will need a commercial product such as Partition Magic. Sorry, but this is just the breaks if you've got a Windows partition hogging your whole disk and you don't want to reinstall from scratch. QtParted will repartition NTFS-style partitions. It is available using Knoppix 3.3. I've used it on two different systems without problems. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Suggest rewording: FIPS does NOT currently work with NTFS style partitions. To split up such a partition, you will need either a commercial product such as Partition Magic or use QtParted. QtParted is available in recent version of Knoppix, a version of Linux designed to run off CD. QtParted also supports DOS partitions. You may need to run Disk Defragmenter under Microsoft Windows first, which is available under System Tools in the Accessories submenu of the Start Menu. Knoppix is available at http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html The Knoppix website is spartan and a bit confusing. It may be more useful to directly link to the list of mirrors: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/ >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: to Partition Magic
