Does the Suse 10.0 installation resize fat32 partitions without data loss?
Hi all. I want to install Suse 10.0 in my computer. It has only one HD with one partiton, with Windows on it. I want to keep the windows installation, as well as the files in the disk, and install Suse 10.0 for doble booting. Can the Suse installation resize the fat32 partition without data loss? Thanks a lot
Originally posted by augu2000 Thanks reddazz! I still have a doubt. Quote of your previous reply:
"Yes, the resizing of your windows partition by FIPS (the partitioning tool used to resize FAT partitions) retains all your windows data."
I am ultra newbie, so I am not sure what FIPS is. Is it the default partitioning tool that appears at the instalation of SUSE 10.0? Thanks again
I explained what FIPS was in the parentheses but I'll add a bit more detail. Its the tool that does the actual resizing of your windows fat32 partition and is run by your distros installer.
