Why not use the partitioning ability available on the Mandrake Linux CD?
 You do not have to install Mandrake...in fact, after using the CD to
partition; I exited and then use the Linux partition to run Knoppix.

Running Knoppix from the CD I encrypted the Linux partition and it's
virtually invisible. (unless one knows my HD size)  I also created a
small FAT32 partition as a bridge for Keyrings, etc. and then "linked"
items in M$ to the Linux partition for sync purposes.  This has worked
quite well for me for over a year now.
