Hi Vlad. I have been using a program QTparted a Partition Magic clone. I have it on a boot Cd which I burnt fron an ISO which was on April LinuxFormat magazine LXF52D It might be worth trying it has a lot of other tools as well. I havn't tried it on a laptop or any computer with XP.
Good luck Graham. Hi everyone, I just bought a new LG LS50-6 laptop and want to set it up as dual boot winxp/redhat. I installed Partition Magic 8 on the hd and thought that resizing the partition would be easy, so that i can install RH. However, PM wouldn't allow the resizing or creating of any partitions on the primary C:\ NTFS partition. As i understand, all the install/rescue files, including WinXP installation is on some sort of "invisible" partition, which doesn't show in the explorer and can only be accessed to re-install WinXP. Partition magic doesn't show/recognize it either. When attempting to install RH and error msg appears : "Boot table on hda unreadable". The option i am given is to delete data on existing partition, reformat and proceed with installation, which is not what i would like to do. When using the supplied rescue disk, options are pretty much the same. I'd rather not do this, if there is another solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
