I learned the hard way windows can't deal with the partition table if it 
wasn't created with a windows tool (or a tool running under windows anyway)

The point'd be, if I have only one windows partition, how'd I resize it 
using windows tools in a way that's guaranteed not to cause trouble, so 
that I could create a new partition for linux ?

I know lilo and I understand it's configuration  - it's great :)
