Hi all, I recently installed Red Hat (InfoMagic April 1997 ed) on my PC. I had problems with creating a partition for Linux. Reason being, windows 95 installed on the PC had a 32 bit(block???) instead of 16bit. So what I did I used DOS fdisk to create a partition. I got a 3.2Gb HD. So I partitioned Primary(1) to be approx 2.Gb. and the remaining as a extended partition(2). I installed Linux on the second partition. What I want to is change the second partition to about 500Mb instead of approx 1.0 Gb. I used CMOS preformat(?) to format the harddrive and remove all partitions(dos and Linux). It didn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance... Regards, Alex
