Situation:
I have a 15GB Maxtor HD and no form of backup media whatsoever.
The 15GB runs Win9X and is divided into 5 partitions equally
[3G each], all of them FAT32.[CDEFG]
I have about 6GB of important data (Media Files, PDFs....) and
my son's MP3s. I don't have a burner or an extra hard drive and
6GB is about as small as everything can get.
Question:
Is it possible for me to:
1. move all of this data into D and E,
use C for Win (without resizing C,D,E); and
2. convert F and G to swap,/,/usr,/home using the auto-allocate
thingy and into ReiserFS, while
3. still accessing my data without any problems in both Mandrake
and Win9X.
Does keeping the size of CDE constant maintain the integrity of
my files?
Is changing my partition table for only the F and G part going to
affect my data? [make it useless, or invisible to either OS]
The machine has 64MB of RAM, so would I still need a sufficient
swap file size, or shouldn't I bother with it since what I'm trying
to do with partition tables is impossible?
Any and all help is appreciated. TIA.
