I asked a question last week about repartitioning a hard disk.  No one answered me.  Could at least someone write me and tell me if the problem is that (A) no one can answer my question or (B) my question was so stupid I never should have asked it in the first place and I am a big Linux loser.   Thank you, Hershel 'Loser' Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Hershel S Robinson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2000 7:40 PM Subject: Repartitioning Petition Hello Newbie Advisors.  Here is my story:   First I had Windows NT on my C disk.  Then I installed Linux on that disk, i.e. NT in the first partition, and then 3 for Linux.  I now have gotten a D drive and have installed another Linux installation on that drive.  The D drive has 3 partitions, one for Linux / one for Linux /home and one for NT.  I used the existing swap partition on my C drive for my D drive Linux installation.  I read that it's best to have the swap on a separate drive if possible.  (The exact partition order on C is: NT, swap, /, /home and D is /, NT, /home) What I want to do now is to repartition the / and /home partitions from my C drive (i.e. partitions 3 and 4) and make them into one partition and make them available to NT. When I initially installed Linux I just used the program that comes on the CD for partitioning (the one that runs from the command line--fdisk maybe?) and I re-partitioned the C drive without negatively affecting NT. I thought I could just go back and do that again and be able to repartition without affecting NT on C or Linux on D. 1 Is this a reasonable plan? 2 What do I need to do to let my Linux on D know that I removed partitions two from C (i.e. Linux on D currently mounts those partitions) 3 Lilo currently is able to boot into NT and Linux on C and Linux on D.  I assume that I can just edit lilo.conf to remove the Linux on C and then run lilo -v and lilo will be happy.
