A friend of mine is trying to repartition a hard drive that has Lindows
on it to make it dual boot, Windows / Debian. He's using the Dos fdisk
program to try to delete the Lindows partition, and he's getting a
memory allocation error. He wants to install Windows first so as not to
have Windows destroy the link to Linux

I have no problem believing that the dos fdisk is choking on deleting
the Linux partition. He's going to set up a Fat32 partition and a Reiser
partition (he wants Debian to have full access to the Windows partition
- - doesn't care if Windows can access the Linux partition).

What utility(s) are best for this? He's going to need to run it from a
floppy; what should he put on the floppy so he will be able to boot /
run the utility?
