Bruno Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Colin . . it is really simple:This is how it is now:||DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD||EEEEEEEE||Then first make D smaller:||DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD|.....................|EEEEEEEE||And then make E larger:||DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD||EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE||And, Colin . . don't worry too much . . . you still have the PCLos 5 install CD ?? And the Mephis ? So if all goes wrong you simply reinstall them all over again Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 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 :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Colin, you will be converting E over for use in Linux. It will no longer be E anymore.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 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 . . .but like I said . . take your time !
