Re: [newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time)

Ranish Partition Manager is able to resize partitions probably also PartitionMagic and various other utilities I have forgotten but which you might find on the freeware/shareware sites often as part of a multiboot program, I remember looking at several 2/3 years ago when interested in multibooting win95/Cpm/linux.   "Weave a circle round him thrice,   And close your eyes with holy dread,   For he on honeydew hath fed,   And drunk the milk of paradise."  (The linux user) ----- Original Message ----- From: Kyle "Orange" Spahn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2000 10:26 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time) Okay: I understand about the types of partitions that I have to have.. but right now.. I have a Windows partition that is like 26068 MB (or something close to that) and then I have a 15MB empty partition.. that's all.. and it doesn't allow me to resize my Windows partition without deleting it. I just got this computer from Gateway like a week ago and it's a powerhouse system with full Linux compatibile components..   -Kyle "Orange" Spahn Freespace 2 Coordinator Lead Reviewer Descent Chronicles - http://descent.gamestats.com   News GameLordz Network - http://www.gamelordz.net   News Summoner Homeland - http://www.summonerhl.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Kirkovsky To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2000 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time) Your boot partition MUST be before 1024 cylinder.. Reorganize your partition something like that:   1. WinXX (if you have one) 2. Linux boot partition (starting from cylinder < 1024) Size: ~30MB 3. WinXX (if you want to have more space for Windoze) Size: up to you 4. Linux swap partition, Size: up to you 5. Linux root partition, Size: up to you   So, the ONLY important point here is No.2 Regards, Alex Kirkovsky     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kyle "Orange" Spahn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2000 8:16 PM Subject: [newbie] Drive Full?!? (please respond this time) Hey Everyone,     I keep trying to partition my hard drive so I can use Linux, but when I do so, it says that the last cylinder of my drive is full. So it thinks my entire drive is filled up, which it isn't. I have a 27.3 GB Hard Drive which I've maybe used 5 GB of. It's definitely not full! I need help!!!
