    Hello,

    Currently I don't have my own computer available and the one I have
    acces to is the one my dad uses;
    I need a compiler and openGL/glut and I can't really find anything
    usefull so I want to install linux debian!!

    The problem is, this computer has a 40GB disk with XP installed and we
    don't want to loose a file on it - the defrag program says no
    defragmentation is needed as the defragmentation rate is low or
    something - and I need this to be accessible today so I can't wait for
    that program

    How can I resize the 40GB partition 10 GB smaller (to add new
    partitions) without any data loss? I only have the debian woody 3.0r1
    installation CS's available.

    I hope you can help,

    Thank you

    Joris
