Bruno/Adam ThanksIs there a slight Possibility after I make D Smaller then E larger there may still be a hidden or noticeable other partition so that we have D - Windows E- reiser/ for MDK 10 and another that will take hda 9 to 10 or so.Think I am trying to say Will Drakes partitioning tool allow me easily to do what you said in your post BrunoColin :) :'( :D

Posted

Colin, you will be converting E over for use in Linux. It will no longer be E anymore....

Posted

Yeah AdamI realize that hda6 = E and now MDK 10 and hope the resizing of E takes up all of the 7.7G or so and there is no hard dive space left that will change PCLos's hda9Think I might just have to go ahead and start seeing I have bruno's Instructions in front of me hu???Colin :D

Just go for it Colin . . . Madrakes partitioner is real easy . . . . first make hda5 smaller and then da6 bigger and then format hda6 to Ext3 . . . . . that is all . . . . .really do not make yourself nervous . . no need for it !Like I said you can always reinstall . . . and will have Windows to post on the forum for help :DB) Bruno

MDK screenPlease Waitresize_fat Allocating new clusterscolin

Sure "Expert Mode" is the way to do it Colin . . . . . but after all you are on the way of becoming an Expert . . aren't you ?? So you are allowed to use the "Expert Mode"Take your time . . . :D Bruno

Thankx BrunoThink it's been resizing about 30+ mins NowColin :D

Posted

Just keep us posted :DB) Bruno

Posted

Yep will tryUnless grandaughter commandeers the room :) Surprised there are NO hard Drive or CD lights going during the Resize though :D Colin

Posted

Funny that it takes so long . . must be the defragmenter that did not do a too good job . . . because you are resizing a Windows partition with still data on it . . . maybe Drake wants to make sure you do not looses any data . . :DResizing empty partitions goes quicker :D . . .but like I said . . take your time !:) Bruno

Posted
