The Red Hat documentation discusses installing a dual boot system where
the existing Windows partition covers the entire hard disk.  It suggests
using FIPS to repartition the hard drive.

But in the first paragraph it says "If you are using NTFS partitions, FIPS
will not work."

I would like to add RH to a Windows NTFS pc by repartitioning.  Is this
possible?  Other ways to get the job done?

My goal is a dual boot Win2000 and RH Linux machine without losing the
existing Windows system and data.
