Are there any linux partitioning tools that will properly repartition a
windows XP disk ready for gentoo? - I need to keep windows until gentoo
is fully working, inc. all bells and whistles! Last time I came up
against this I had to use a commercial product.

Acronis Disk Director Suite is a commercial product but it is
cheaper and more useful than Partition Magic.

The system rescue disk has nfstools in it and a nice gui interface
called qtparted I think. That is how I did the repartition on my laptop.
