I know. This is very tricky. I think, I should order PowerQuest's Partitioning Tool. Apparently, the Windows version can resize and move NTFS. I found the freebie DOS version for FAT very handy. But, it cannot handle NTFS. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the software that I must use for my Technical Support, I must have access to Windows NT4. Now, how do we get this company to include their utility as an rpm? Roman Paul wrote: > > On Fri, 2 Jun 2000, Roman Bysh wrote: > > >Hi everybody, > > > >I have installed Linux to my D partition.
