[ale] Repartioning HDD

[Christopher Fowler]

I downloaded the gparted ISO image and gave XP 20GB and I will use the
remaining 20GB for Ubuntu.  Worked great and saved me the time of a
reinstall.  I'm working on my nephew's computer and originally gave hime
XP but decided that I wanted him to have Linux too.  I would prefer he
stay in Linux but he wants to run some of the latest web stuff like
Virtual Magic Kingdom and I've not been able to get that to run under
Linux.
