Hi ! I have a red hat 8.0 & Windows 2000 on a intel box with a 60 GB hard drive .
Only 20 GB has been partitioned into 10 GB of NTFS and 9 GB of Linux , file id 83 ext 3 and 1 GB of Linux swap , file id 82 . I want to use some free unallocated space from the remaining 40 GB for my linux . But I could not get fdisk (from the command prompt ) to show me the unallocated space and partition it . I could see the unallocated free space when I run KDE hardware browser . I could find the GUI disk druid too . So How do I partition the unused free space for my red hat 8.0 . Which utility do I use ? When ever I use fdisk , and choose option n ( to add a partition ) , it gives an error message saying that I need extended partition or I need to delete old partition to create a new one . But I have 40 GB of un used space on my hard drive. Please advice . Thank you for your help in advance . cheers, bj - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
