if your distro ships with or has packages for the latest ntfs-3g drivers then you can reliably read from and write to NTFS partitions. I feel its easier to learn about parted/GParted/QtParted and get your work of resizing and recreating partitions done rather than figure out the fdisk interface. I have heard some members of my local LUG complain that commercial partitioning applications like Partition Magic write some vendor specific details to the partitions, thus making it difficult to manipulate by some other programs like gparted, etc. -- Diabolic Preacher As Is Blog: http://pintooo15.livejournal.com/ Bookmarks: http://simpy.com/user/dpreacher -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d+(-) s+:+ a22 C++@ UL@ P L+(++) E- W++ !N o?
