Fw: [expert] Linux and NT Together

[John D. Lewis]

Greetings all,   As you can see in my last reply, I'm somewhat stumped.  I can't remember how to change the partition size, as I haven't ever had the need to actually change the partition size while the drive had contents on it.   I'm in the process of asking a few friends... Perhaps someone else might be able to shed some more light on the situation?   Regards,   John D. Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ----- Original Message ----- From: John D. Lewis To: Rogelio E.
