partitioning dynamic discs

[silje]

Hello,

I have a disc of 120 GB where I decided I wanted to use the spare 80gb or so to install Linux.

After a lot of hazzle I find that the disc is made dynamic. I have 32 GB of info on this already that I cannot backup in any way. The partition programs won't touch is since it's dynamic and I can't seem to find a solution. I need to partition the disc so that I can install the other OS on it.

Does anyone have a solution to this other than reformatting the drive and making it basic?

Thanks!
Celia
