Resize Partition after Using Recovery CDs

[djpharoah]

Hi - just restored my T41p back to its original state with the ibm cds. Now I need to install arch linux and thus need a sizable partition. The thing is I tried to resize the partition with partition magic. However as soon as I resized it and rebooted my windows xp partition was unreadable.

So here I am after restoring it again but this time I thought I would ask here!

Any ideas? I have a 60gb 7k60 in there and want like 30/30gb split.

PM can be finicky. You should hit the APPLY button after every single action, not go through the whole selection process and only then hit Apply.
