Also:
I started browsing the Installation Instructions Stickie (beginner guide).

Referring to:
Does the latter mean there are risks with Gparted only?Tools like the Parted Magic Live CD can reliably repartition your hard drive. Or you can use the Gparted program on the Puppy Live CD. But there are risks, especially if your Windows installation has some underlying corruption.
...or: that there's risks also with PartedMagic?
Also:
The latter scares me. It seems to imply that there's risk with either choice?? (I.E. no matter if you choose to repartition, or co-exist with WinXP)There are some reports that if Puppy crashes, it can also damage Windows. But many users are running Puppy this way without incident. So you need to choose between two small risks - corrupting Windows during a drive repartition or corrupting it as a side effect of Puppy failing.
