Re-Partitioning?

[maxxoverclocker]

right now ive got my pc set up and running with windows xp (and i want to keep it that way lol) but i was thinking about installing a new os so i could get used to mac for school, so the question is (forget where im getting it from) how/is it possible to 're' partition my hdd i have now? so that i may install another operating system using a different file system? (so that i can partition my 80gigs of ntfs to 70 gigs of ntfs and 10 gigs of hfs? thx

I use partitionmagic, works really well.

alright i have partition magic 8 so that should work, but repartitioning shouldn't loose data right? (its all going to be backed up so it won't matter anyway, i just want to do this with minimal effort)

no you shouldn't lose anything, but back it up just incase
