disk partition-installing linux

[AAA]

hi,
i have windows XP on my computer, (its lenovo 3000 N100 if this helps),
and i want to install the fedora 6 (i think that this is its name) and
i have only C as my disk drive, i'd like to know how to make a disk
partition without formating my computer, knowing that i don't have a
windows CD cause its already on the computer, to install it, i have to
restaur it.
i know that there is a software called magic partition, but some people
adviced me not to use it,
thanks for your help

There are several non-destructive partition managers. PQMagic is
one of them, Acronis DiskDirector another. They work most of the
time - however, if you want a no-risk process then you must back
up your system first, restore it to another disk and test the restoration.
