"GNU Parted" is a more recent linux partition-editor than fdisk. It also comes in a GUI version for your favourite desktop. GParted for Gnome or KParted for KDE. http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/index.shtml http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ http://xmelegance.org/kparted/index.html GParted Live CD sounds just the berries. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php As always before you do anything major like this, back up first! You could loose the contents of the partition you are trying to resize, or in a worst case scenario the contents of the whole disk! *** You have been Warned *** I also recommend: That if you do choose to do the resize, that you run a defrag first, and repeat it until there are no fragments left. That you don't try to make a FAT32 partition larger than say 8GB, as it is a total waste of space due to chunk size. http://www.felgall.com/bts/bts.php?issue=aug2006 That you understand that FAT32 is less secure than NTFS (although the average home windows user runs their box with more than 50% of the security disabled {such as no password on logons, admin account still active with no password, no individual user accounts and no limited access accounts}). -- Michael Linux: The OS people choose without $200,000,000 of persuasion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
