By MCC I take you mean "diskdrake". A word of warning though: Diskdrake has some funny quirks, I ran across one today again. Sometimes diskdrake renames partitions and writes that to /etc/fstab whereas either "fdisk" or "cfdisk" see a different naming scheme. At the worst this could prevent a successful reboot...."diskdrake" is wrong!! In my case "diskdrake" saw /dev/hda6 as my swap partition which it wasn't, it should've been /dev/hda5 and hda6 an unused ext3 partition. I only noticed because I started checking why the machine had been getting so slow to bootup:o/ This change was brought on by diskdrake due to moving and resizing existing partitions about like you just have. Double check /etc/fstab and the disk-geometry before rebooting. Good luck, HarM -- Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
