[ltp] resizing hard disk on ThinkPad T40?

[Annika Wille]

Hello,

I am new as a Linux user.

I tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.2 on my ThinkPad T40. It has a 40GB
NTFS hard drive. First I checked the hard disk, then I ran defrag. But
even though, that I have 14GB free space on my drive, I cannot resize it
sufficiently enough within the Mandrake installation process. The reason
might be that IBM put the Windows recovering system on a part of the
disk.

So, my questions are:
- Can I resize my hard disk more, without loosing my Windows?
- If yes, how?

I appreciate any help and advice!
Thank you very much!
Annika
