March 30, 200420 yr I'm not sure if you can get them independant of distributions, but the partition tools I've seen packages with various Linux distros (Mandrake, Fedora) allow resizing, adding, deleting, etc. -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

April 5, 200420 yr Yeah like that will help:mad: Why wouldn't it help? Your partition isn't your Operating System.
April 5, 200420 yr Try PartEd. Here's a disk image that has it and some other utils you might find helpful: http://sourceforge.net/projects/paud/ There is also a GUI for it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/part-gui/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtparted/ SourceForge rules :) -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

April 6, 200420 yr See, the thing with partitioning your HD is that you don't have an OS. You pretty much use whatever is on your rescue disks. If you wanted to FDISK the drive, you'd boot up under DOS, and FDISK. If you wanted to use PartEd, you'd boot up under a basic Linux setup from the disk, and run PartEd. Once you set up the NTFS and FAT32 partitions the way you want, you format them and install your OS of choice (WinXP, in this case). The ext2/ext3/swap options in the partition utility are just not used in this case. -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

April 8, 200420 yr seanb64: He knows what you are say. What Gavion0 means is this: Re-partitioning your harddrive is OS independant. Because of this, you can use whatever tool you want, be that a DOS based FDISK or a Linux based PartEd. Becuase you are booting off of a boot disk, the OS on it does not matter. Say I boot off of an Slackware boot disk. I load up PartEd (or whatever it uses for partitioning) and create a new NTFS partition. Then you can pop out the Linux boot disk and boot to normal Windows as you normally do. -Zach "It's a flat file masquerading as a relational engine.
