I found this info on Linux and thought I would pass it along as it involves
partitions too.

Interested in Linux, but hesitant to start playing around with drive
partitions, boot loaders, and other folderol which can leave you with a
completely
useless PC? Wubi does one simple thing: It creates a Linux partition within
your Windows partition. You specify how much you wish to slice off--from 5
gigabytes to 30--and it installs Linux there. The next time you boot, you are
given the choice of booting into Linux or Windows. If you choose the former,
Ubuntu Linux will launch and will then format the reserved space for its own
needs. One more reboot, and you have two operating systems on your computer.
The only way it could be easier would be if Wubi downloaded the knowledge of
how to use EMACS into your brain.
