Current disk/partitions: - two identical IDE drives configured in master/slave configuration - master has one primary partition (hda1) with Windows - slave has one primary partition (hdb1) and one extended partition containing 4 logical partitions - the 4 logical partitions on the slave drive have all my linux filesystems. So: /dev/hda1 Windows FAT C: /dev/hdb1 Windows FAT D: /dev/hdb2 Linux extended /dev/hdb6 Linux ext2 / /dev/hdb7 Linux Swap /dev/hdb8 Linux ext2 /home /dev/hdb5 Linux ext2 /apps I am planning to remove Windows completely. I was hoping to use diskdrake to reformat hda and create one primary and one extended partition Questions: 1. Once I am done with that, how do I correctly move the root filesystem from hdb6 over to the newly created primary partition on hda. 2. Also, how do I go about configuring lilo and fstab to reflect the changes. 3. Is all of this neccessary or should I just reinstall 8.1 after reformatting hda?
