I have 320 GB hard drive which is partitioned as follows:




  • / is 16 GB, and is reiserfs

  • /home is 300 GB, and is reiserfs

  • swap is 4 GB



Now I want to install Windows and have a dual-boot system, but I don't have a free partition. I have more than enough free space on the /home partition, though, and I've heard about tools like resize_reiserfs, so my question is, can I shrink that partition to 280 GB and create a new 20 GB partition on which to install Windows, and what is the best way to do it?
