Ok, the installing of Mandrake 8.0 a while back wasn't too hard. However soon I hope to get a 2nd hard drive which will mean changes. I want to uninstall Mandrake 8.0, Resize the 98 and XP partitions on the first hard drive, and then install Mandrake 9.1.

Currently: 40GB drive has 98(3GB) / XP(3GB) / Mandrake 8.0(2GB)/Files to share(30GB)

When I'm done I want: 40GB drive having 98(10GB) / XP(10GB) / Mandrake 9.1(10GB) and the new 120GB drive for files

I don't want to have to reinstall 98 and XP, they are running so fine it's not funny. That's why I want to uninstall Linux, resize, and then reinstall Linux.

Probably, but does that get rid of the boot information? Right now Mandrakes' Boot Manager comes up first with the Linux or Windows options. Then I select what I want and go on. If I just wipe the partition will that boot manager mess me up since it can't see Linux anymore to boot from?
