No, this is the systemrescue cd, and it has lots of tools on it I'm 
still exploring.  qtparted is just one of many utils for fiddling with 
disks on it.  The most interesting is one called ntfsresize.  But it 
appears one has to follow that up with a run of fdisk to complete the 
change, otherwise its gone the next time winderz is booted.

And hp is giving me a load of crap about losing the hardware warranty if 
I install any 3rd party software on it.  I printed that puppy out and I 
don't read it that way at all.  Plus I found some other tools, and 
checked the backup dvd's it asked me to burn, and they appear to be 
able to fully reimage the drive, so I'm less concerned about making 
linux space on it now.  I just want to be awake when i do it...

I've always run under the premise that it was beer-thirty and I was one 
behind. :-)
