[ILUG] Is NTFS resize safe?

[Keith Davey]

Hi,

I have finally managed to get to a stage where I can work without 
windows, so I want to get linux on my
work laptop.

However, I can't get rid of windows altogether yet, so I was looking 
into setting up a dual boot for the moment.

So I have too questions:

1. Does Grub play friendly with Windows XP? I've used it with Win 2000 
no problem.
2. Is NTFS resize safe or will it kill my partition? Of course I'll back 
stuff up as well.

Thanks,

Keith
