I stand corrected on the partition resize with XP. I guess the tools I was thinking of became available with Win 7. If you want to dual boot XP and linux. Just defrag and compress your HD files using XP. Then I'd use GPARTED live disk to resize your C: and get room for Linux. As a new linux user I wouldn't suggest Debian. Mint XFCE would work well on your system. Dave Rowell |
