I've got a system with Windows 2K, Win98 and Linux. Basically, I've just broke the Win98 partition, but I was only using it until I knew 2000 was good enough. I could really do with the extra space it's taking up, but Partition Manager doesn't work on Win2000. Is there a comparable tool? Is there a handy Linux tool I can do a swap (a la PM and keep everything on there) of my partition sizes? Thanks, C.

I have been told there is a linux tool capable to resize partitions, but I've never tried it. And beware, it's just out of it's beta phase... However, here it is the address: ftp://ftp.unina.it/pub/gnu/parted Bye /\\arco

I would read all the DOCS on it before use. -- Matt M >^..^<

I would read all the DOCS on it before use. I've used it before, with no major hassles - one word of advice tho, make sure you defragment any Windows partitions before you run it. -- Gus

Partition Magic 5.01 is the earliest version intended to work with W2K. You will want a FAT32 partition anyway, in order for linux to be able to write files which may be read in 2K, so you could simply wipe off the folders you don't want from the W98 partition. If you use a non-W2K-compatible partition manager to resize, you will likely need to re-install W2K afterwards. Not the end of the world. -- Tim Prince "Equality7-2521" <colin@asquith.co.uk> wrote in message news:fX_g5.2718$T_1.54524@news6-win.server.ntlworld.com... > I've got a system with Windows 2K, Win98 and Linux.
