Hi, Please Help: As much as i hate to admit it, i do need Windows for some things! I have a Quantum 20Gb HD. Basically what i did was i went into the Linux Mandrake Setup program and specified 3 partitions In these aproximate quantities: /mnt/Windows 10Gb Primairy (Win98 FAT 32) / 9.6Gb Primairy (Ext2) swap 0.4Gb Primairy (Linux Swap) Because the install prog can't make a proper FAT partition, i went to fdisk and deleted it, then made a new one. the new one was only 1gb! (i to,d it to use the maximum). I installed windows and got Partition Magic Pro, it registers the missing 9 gigs as being unallocated, but i can't get resize the windows partition past 2Gb (even when i do that, it wont let me, so i just stays at 1Gb) PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
