Oliver, Manufactures have moved away from the old faithfull PATA IDE controller and use sh!t like that jmicron chipset I see all the time. Thsi complicates things for some older distro's.
If you are bent on buying something, I can't help: I do it all myself. Do try PE if you need something *now*. It _will_ work, if you got NTFS on that disk, there was a windows driver for the controller it was on, and you can pump that into PE after its booted if your not groov'in on making an integrated PE disc. It will be easy and quick. jlc ________________________________ From: Oliver Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 9:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Bootable partition resizer for NTFS partitions on SATA disks Alas, it doesn’t. Here GParted Live gets half way through then bombs out with read errors and every key shows up twice on the screen. Knoppix wont load as it complains it cant find the CD (this is after booting from the CD). Tried multiple CD’s and DVD images from multiple sources, and have 15 dells here and none of them work. Ubuntu just beeps loading while loading.
