Although I would never recommend resizing a partition without backing it 
up first, I have a laptop which I've reinstalled 4 or 5 times and in 
each case, I started with default install of XP that came with the box, 
then resized it with SuSE 9.2.

I've also done the same on this box with Mandrake at least once. 
Currently it has SuSE 9.2, Mandrake Corporate Desktop 3.0, Slackware 
10.1 and XP.
