Hi, QTParted - edits the partion - on ntfs it does not resize the file system so it gets broken.

Well this morning, before basketball and bowls, Alan and I installed a 10Gb drive into his computer, partitioned it with a Fat32 partition and then installed Mepis. The LiveCD seemed to boot fine with Alan's hardware if he selected "old hardware" or if we used a PS2 keyboard rather than the USB one. We could not use QTParted to resize the NTFS partition - I have not had time to research whether this is normal or a problem with his drive. Any comments? His hardware was auto-detected, including his modem so hopefully, in the fullness of time Alan will report back that he has a working Linux desktop. And yes Rik, at this time in the morning I can report that I have had a few little tipples. Goodnight all, Rob
