Frank:

I have used Partition Magic 5.0 to non-destructively repartition a drive
pre-installed with Windows and install Linux for multi-boot on a couple of
different PCs (Win98se/Linux, WinMe/Win2000/Linux). What problems are you
talking about?

Does Mandrake (or anyone else besides Partition Magic) have a non-destructive
repartition program that is production quality?
