Subject: How to resize 60-gig ntfs partition to install dual-boot Linux?

I'm trying to install Mandriva into a dual boot setup on a new HP laptop
on which win-xp has taken the entire 60-gig drive and won't allow resizing.
Is there some way around this?

I see:
ntfs resize failed
ntfs resize v1.11.2
NTFS volume version 3.1
current volume size 60,003,381760 bytes - 60004 MB
followed by a long list of incremental percentages.

If possible, I'd like to avoid reformatting the entire hard drive
and deleting XP entirely.
