Not sure what you mean be resize - if you want to put in a partition the safest method would be to spring for partition magic as it will handle all the setting up and movement without you losing anything. If you want to drop in a larger drive - that is an entirely different subject.

Your first answer is misguided. in case you get a Linux installation disk and installation it you get the 1st few monitors that are figuring out on usa, keyboard, settle for the licence and so on after which you get the no longer common rigidity application. that's going to ask you in case you p.c. to chop back the domicile windows partition, say confident. Use the scale slider to verify the scale of the domicile windows partition and click ok. that's going to then resize it and ask despite if it rather is okay, say confident. Then that's going to format the recent partition, no longer the domicile windows partition. It formats in ext3 this is a Linux format. After the format that's going to initiate the Linux installation, at this factor hit the reset button on your computer and, because it reboots, get the Linux CD out of the rigidity. you presently have a 2d partition on the no longer common rigidity and domicile windows continues to be there. you could format the recent partition in NTFS or fat 32 and then domicile windows will see it has yet another partition.
