v1.0 Xandros CDs come with a problem called PQDisk, which can be used to resize NTFS partitions among others types. If you happen to have a Xandros CD then you can boot up your machine using the cd, switch to a command shell window to resize a drive...
It's also possible to boot from some other media (like two debian rescue floppies) then mount the disk and use the CD to resize. However you may need to use do something like "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/cdrom/live/usr/lib:/cdrom/live/lib /cdrom/live/bin/PQDisk" to use the shared libraries from the CD...). The PQDisk program is a program meant to be called from scripts, so it has no user interface. It has a few command line arguments, but most control is done by giving it a command script to run. Here is some example syntax... the "command_file" below would shrink a NTFS partition to as small as it can be, then grow it by 2 Gigs. === # get drive info PQDisk -INFO # check script for okay-ness, don't apply changes PQDisk -CMD=command_file -LOG=Log -SCO # apply script. PQDisk -CMD=command_file -LOG=Log info_file === Select Drive 1 Select Partition Number 1 Check Info /Usage /Waste /Partition /FS === command_file === Select Drive 1 Select Partition Number 1 Check Resize Min Resize Larger 2048 === _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
