1. Do NOT convert your Linux partition to FAT32. Do NOT convert it to NTFS. Don't do it! It won't work! For Linux to run, it needs to be run on a file system capable of handling Unix style file permissions. Neither FAT32 nor NTFS support them.
2. Try using QTParted instead of Partition Magic to resize your partitions. Your real problem seems to be that you're wanting to resize your Linux partition. But if u want try do it by using windows follow these steps.. 1) Go to Computer, and note the name of the drive whose file system you wish to convert. 2) Click on Start. 3) Type cmd in the search bar if you use Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows Vista. If you use Windows XP, click on Run and then execute *cmd*. 4) Execute "*chkdsk h: /f *" (without quotes) where H is the letter of the drive to undergo conversion. This checks the drive for errors and fixes them automatically. 5) Execute "*Convert H: /FS:NTFS*" (without quotes). H is again the letter of the drive to be converted. 6) The command prompt<http://www.tweakandtrick.com/2011/09/command-prompt-tricks-hacks-codes.html> will start the conversion process and after a few minutes, CMD will say that conversion was successful. 7) You can check it in the properties of the drive through right click<Properties. _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
