hi i have a few questions about a computer i bought and wanted to install linux on.
the computer came with vista preinstalled. i wanted to install linux. i tried ntfsresize, but it didn't work (doesn't support vista partitions ?). I tried to resize the partition from vista. it let me shrink the partition to 50% of the hard-drive but not less (arrogant microsoft - they must be the biggest partition) so now i was able to install linux on half of the disk. it was not long before the linux partition was full. so mounted the ntfs partition ant put some data on it, but the performance sucks, and i do not want to put big files in a seperate (NTFS) partition. i found also a small NTFS partition, i assume it is for reinstalling VISTA. so here are my questions: 1. if i erase the vista partition, can i reinstall it from the other ? 2. if i want to buck the partitions up. is there a open soure software similiar to norton-ghost that supports vista's and linux's partition. 3. is there an open source software that can resize the vista partition (ntfsresize does not work) 10x, erez.
