It's not the sort of thing you want to do on a running system so you probably want to run it from a live CD such as knoppix. I think some versions of Mandrake also have it on their live CD.
Remember to backup your data just in case something goes wrong.
Yeah, uh, I have no idea what you just said, sorry. What I did manage to do on my own was decrease teh windows partition, now I just need to increse the linux one.
You know what, I have an external harddrive coming soon anyway, so I'll need redo a lot of stuff. Is there anyway I can just uninstall mandrake then reinstall it.
Distribution: Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.2, Windows 2003 Server/Vista/7/XP/2000/NT/98, Ubuntux64, CentOS4.8/5.4

Just format the whole hard drive and it'll uninstall Mandrake and everything that's on it.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I'm guessing that would DESTROY windows, and they don't make recovery cds or whatever anymore because the company is completely worthless, could I just format the mandrake part of the harddrive?
