[NTLUG:Discuss] Non destructive NTFS partitioning?

[Burton Strauss]

Parted doesn't and the ntfs driver is still not marked safe for read/write,
but I guess a stand-alone program (when nothing else is running can). 

Yup...

My cousin just did it with Mandrake, so it appears that two of them do it,
maybe more?
I was told before, (as Burton says), that none will, and that you'd need
some commercial application like Partition Magic, but guess that's not
necessarily the case.
