Have I missed something here? I understood that the DOS version of fdisk
zeroed (what was that called?) when used to repartition a HDD, thus forcing a
reinstall. I understood that the Linux fdisk only altered the partition
information itself. I thought that was why all of the gyrations to resize a
DOS partition to make room for Linux were necessary. Is there a simple way
to resize a DOS partition without having to reinstall Windoze, for those of
us still stuck having to use it? -Gary-

I have accomplished and the same task that you are conjecturing over. Adrian
is correct in that you have to firt defrag your haddrive (run an error test

have
also did successfully, to repartition your windoze drive or do it all from
diskdrake. I took the added precaution of writing down my harddrive
"properties" (the actual size of information currently occupied on my
harddrive.) so that I could give windows two GBs of harddrive space. The rest
