Hi. I have a 100 gig drive on my notebook. 85 gigs is ntfs, remaining space is used by the recovery partition (fat).
I need to resize the ntfs partition to about 40 gigs and install linux on the remaining 40. I burned a live cd of gparted and booted from it, but it shows an exclamataion mark next to the ntfs partition. "Cannot read contents of this filesystem. Only limited functions available." I cannot shrink it any further than 8 MB. Gparted allows me to shrink the recovery partition (fat) without issues. Any ideas? Any alternatives to gparted with better ntfs support? Regards, NMK. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
