The PM included with LM CAN NOT resize NTFS partitions. DO NOT confuse Win2000 with NT they are not the same. In Win2000 you can use the disk utility to convert the NTFS to Fat32. DiskDrake or PM can then be used to resize that partition and then to create a partition for the Mandrake installation. If this by chance was an attempt to install linux4win, it will not work period, with Win2000. Charles
