The mandrake 9 install automagically detected my XP NTFS partition and asked if I wanted to resize. I assume 10 would still have that ability. Note that you may need to run a good defrag on the windows disks to get all of their data to the beginning of the disk before repartitioning.

I need to be able to install Mandrake 10 on those servers. Is there a utility out there to repartition a Windows drive to allow for enough space for a Linux partition? FOSS solutions preferred. -T P.S. The systems have lots of free disk space. ________________________________________________________________________ ___ Tarus Balog, OpenNMS Maintainer Main: +1 919 545 2553 The OpenNMS Group, Inc.
