switching distro
I have a dilemma. I am running Mandrake 10.0 right now by itself. I want to put XP back on my comp on a dual boot. I normally would delete linux and install windows first but i have alot of info i want to keep thats to big for some cdr's. My hard drive is already partitioned and nothing will let me resize the root partition because its currently mounted. Is there anything anyone can think of? Or if that wont work then how would i switch to slackware linux and keep those files?
Thank You
