I am hoping someone can enlighten(ment) me. My uncle wants Linux / Windows duel boot. I took Mandrake 9.1 over and we got to the part where we needed to resize his Windows ME partition. We clicked the resize button, and waited, and we got an error saying the partition cannot be resized. So we did some google-ing and found that if there is data on clusters on both ends of the drive, this can happen. This was odd because my uncle did a defrag before we started as I suggested. He did it with Norton. So, we fired of the Windows one that never works unless you turn off everything to look at it, and sure enough there was data at the end of the drive. So, we tried the defrag using the Windows default program. It moved all the data off then end with the exception of a few clusters that it claims cannot be moved. We went back to Mandrake install and came across the same probelm again. Any ideas on this one?
If it helps: WIN98 Fat32 LBA-mapped Dell Dimension L700CX BTW, I also did an install for a friend today and resized his drive with NTFS / Windoze XP. Worked like a charm. Three cheers for Mandrake. -- Jacob Albretsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knine.net/ ADVISORY: There is an extremely small but nonzero chance that, through a process known as "tunneling," this product may spontaneously disappear from its present location and reappear at any random place in the universe, including your neighbor's domicile.
