I want to install winXP besides gentoo to play games but I'm currently using all my harddrive (no unformatted space) and I wounder if I can take away some space from my hda3
I post my harddrive thing below:

bash-2.05b# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 * 1 7 56196 83 Linux
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 8 132 1004062+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 133 14593 116157982+ 83 Linux

it's a 120 gb harddrive btw...

i've read that "qt-parted" is a partition magic clone. but be warned i used a version coming with system-rescue-cd 0.2.13 and spoiled my reiserfs partition with it

I set ip Qtparted over the weekend. I'm planning to experiment on a second drive I'd like to set bochs on.

It seems to read both disks just fine, but though I use ext3fs based on just looking at the partitions this app does not appear to be able to resize an ext3fs though it seems to be able to do so on a fat16. I say this as the second disk has both mentioned . It did not give me any command other than delete or format on the ext3. It did allow me to do so on the fat16, either by click and drag on a graph or a dialog box.

I though I had read Reiser was unsupported, but maybe I am wrong.
