This happens with PM, though I have not used it since version 7 and about 18 months ago. It is probably best to resize with Diskdrake. But it can be done in PM, with a complete loss of data, by first deleting the partition. Then creating a new one the size you want, but as FAT or FAT 32, then formatting it again to ext2. Do each step on its own. PM did not like doing a lot at once for me. It locked up windows solid so that it had to be turned off at the wall. Charlie. -- What I am I am, and say not.
