I have a 40 gig Linux drive and 15 gig Windows drive. I got DSL, and I do generally use windows more, so with all my downloading, I have only 800 MBs left on my windows drive. Previously, I have tried to split the 40 gig drive, 20 for linux, 20 for windows. I have Red Hat 9. I used sfdisk (i think, i know it was the one the man fdisk described as a "hacker" one). sfdisk (or whatever) messed up the partition table a bit, now there are trailing 1 MB free spaces at the start and end (and sometimes in the middle) of the drive. I was wondering how I could fix the partition table, and get a 20 gig vfat partition (the red hat 9 installer will only let me create a vfat of 2048 MBs). I backed up all my linux files to my windows drive, so I can reinstall red hat all I need. Thanks for any help and sorry about the messiness, I am typing this really fast.

I have been doing some more research ... there is a FREE graphical tool called QTParted for creating/resizing partitions. It is supposed to work with FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, reiserfs, ext2/3.
There is a bootable CD called SystemRescueCd (based on gentoo linux) that contains many utilities including QTparted, PartGui, nano, vim-6.2, MidnightCommander, fdisk, sfdisk, mkisofs, cdrecord, Clam-AntiVirus, lynx and links. I have been playing with this CD for a couple days now ... it seems OK, but QTParted is not nearly as functional as Partition Magic. I did resize an NTFS partition and it seemed to work. -------------------- Johnny Hughes
