	Certianly depends on you, I wouldn't pay for it, I would much rather (if you 
don't have too much data) re-do the machine and then create the partitions for 
NTFS and Linux, maybe a small FAT partition so that you can move things in case 
that is needed. If you have access to a network drive I would dump my data there 
and then restore it once I were done.

	But if you can't do that then I guess Partition Magic is your buddy. Good Luck.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
