hi... do i understand you correctly here? the drive is one large fat partition, and
you are trying to resize that partition without losing the data on it? i don't think
diskdrake can do this, without data lose that is. tho i could be wrong. diskdrake is
an impressive tool -- however i don't think it can resize partitions and preserve
data.

When I click on the Resize button in DiskDrake (after entering expert mode) during the
installation of Mandrake 7.2, I get the following message: "this partition is not
resizable".
I have a single windows (win98) FAT32 partition that takes up the entire disk (19GB).
I've run the windows utils 'defrag' and 'scandisk' (thorough scan), as well as Norton
utils like speed disk and disk doctor before attempting the install.
I've also tried the option that frees space on your windows partition but I get an
error saying that I need to 'defrag' (but I did this before the install).
I would appreciate any help or advice (I wish to run Linux along side windows).
Thanks.
