replacing Windows

[Jared Greenwald]

Someone gave me one of their old computers.  The thing still has some
data on it.  I've made a backup of the data to my raid, but in case
they remember about some obscure file they saved somewhere, I wanted
to try to save the Windows area as an accessible partition on whatever
new install I perform.  I just basically want to shrink down the
Windows install to a small partition.  It doesn't have to be bootable
as a Windows install or anything like that, just has to be accessible
for mount when I need it.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,
Jared
