I have a new XP platform with 80G disk. It has been preconfigured with a 
single volume - properties of (C:) identify NTFS file system with 70G free 
space.

I want to end up dual booting with a Linux partitions consuming 40G, the 
remainder under XP, with the ability to see files between the two O/S's.

I intend using Red Hat. 

Do I need to reinstall XP, or can I split the NTFS file system? Do I need any 
further disk management software?

Rgds,
Derek (Lancaster area unknowledgable newbie!)
