Did I mention it is a Dell? ^&*&^%&***&^%&* OK, I was able to resize that partition, but it became of "unknown" type, or was that "other"? In any case I tried to start Win again, but dead! I had a nice conversation with a lady at Dell, who told me that Ctrl-F11 would ( she didn't say the words but ) re-ghost the machine, back to the shipped state. Since it is a new install anyway, no big deal. The client also decided that rebooting would be too difficult for the user switching between XP, unable to see any network cable, to Linux, connected to the firewall and the Internet, for e-mail and other purposes. So the Dell is going to run XP Home and not have a network cable and he is going to buy a second machine to run Linux and do e-mail! Of course disk sharing is no longer an option, but oh, well. > Also, at Distrowatch.com, there is a great system recovery cd with > qtpartition on it, I have used this to resize many HD's. Which one?
