Looking for help. When I installed Mdk 9 on my Compaq presario which
came with WinXp on about 19 G HD, I mistakenly gave about 10 or more G
to linux, leaving only 7 for Win; I went ahead and installed Mdk and all
is going well, but I do not need all this room and I am running out of
room on the windows side. I used Partition Magic 7 and went back to see
if I could fix it, but there do not seem to be any viable options.
Partition Magic for reasons I do not understand sees the linux 10G
partition as all used and I know it is not, but will not let me resize
it, use it to create another partition, etc.. So I am stuck, unless
someone knows of a solution, perhaps a linux tool. Thanks

GNU Parted can resize ext2 and ext3, but it has the restriction that the
start of the partition must stay fixed.
I read somewhere else that Partition Magic 8 *claims* to be able to
resize ext3, but only if you make the two boot floppies. I didn't hear
any confirmation of this though. I don't know if Partition Magic is
able to move the beginning of the partition, it seems to be able to for
NTFS and FAT32.
