Greetings Matt:
I am sorry to jump into this late since I didn't see your original post,
*but* I just did an install here on my laptop that had Win-xp on it.
I looked at Gnu/Parted and Randish(sp) for partition resize tools, but
neither looked promising for the NTFS type. I decided on Partition Magic 7
which did the job.
Next, I did a base install and booted. That is when the error occurred
locally, and the hard drive wouldn't boot *anything*. After I booted off my
Woody-cd1 (in rescue mode), my brother found that when I used cfdisk, I had
made both win-xp & Linux partitions bootable. He simply toggled the boot
switch on the Linux partition, wrote the data, and suddenly I was able to
boot into Lilo from the hard drive.
If you made the same mistake as me, then perhaps this might help you solve
your problem.
gl, tatah
