PM 6.0 and above are safe bets, but 5.0 ain't a good one for NTFS; been
there done that - sad to say...

PM 6+ has been a great tool to use; I still haven't tried using the MDK
Diskdrake for resizing the partitions, but I think that's going to be
the next move - at least next time I have to do a partition resize...

(Just a side note: Ain't it rather funny that MDK is using a kernel that
is further ahead than RH, disk tools that are more sophisticated, an
installation/configuration methodology that is more sophisticated and
"friendly"; yet MDK is behind RH in public opinion?)
