If I defragment C: drive, will be this safe to run fdisk from Linux and assume<br />
that Windows system happens to be at the beginning of the new partition safely preserved?<br />

I have T6212 EMachines, with Win XP on 160Gig HD.<br />

I intend to make two partitions on this HD, reinstall XP on the first one and <br />

On this computer, when I ran Knoppix from CD, I cannot see hard drive from<br />

I can also browse this two windows partitions from Knoppix GUI.<br />

How can I partition CD from Knoppix?<br />

How to partition from Knoppix? (How to start with Knoppix?)

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
