Hello!

I have Debian (Kernel 2.6.8) installed currently sharing two old IDE
HDDs. What's the best way to install a new Windows 2000 SP4 (all
updates) installation without messing up my current Linux EXT3
partitions? I have PartitionMagic v8.01, but I don't know if it is safe
to use (e.g., resize the existing partitions). I have never done this
(newbie) before so I am scared. :(

Thank you in advance. :)
