I've now managed to finally get rid of windows...I think..
How Can I get the free space to become a part of Hda6 which is the main Linuxdrive, so all Hdspace is on one drive?

Is there a way of getting the free space to become a part of hda6, so I have alot more space to use..
the free space used to be win c: until 10minutes ago...
The more detailed the better since I'm very new to this...

Either mount it as-is (fat32/ntfs) or create a new, linux based filesystem. To create the filesystem:

mkreiserfs /dev/hda1 [as root]
reboot

This will create a reiser filesystem on your old windows partition, but first backup any files on your windows drive!! Also, make sure lilo is installed to mbr (/dev/hda) not /dev/hda1.
Then I would tag it on at /usr/local/. (see "man fstab")

edit: or maybe /home. (there are lots of posts dealing with using /home as a mountpoint)

Is it possible to 'melt' two partitions in to one?

The free space into hda6? And how(step-by-step) can a newbie do it?

no need to "resize" anything, just mount it at a convenient point. Search forums for "mount patitions" or similar.

I just need to get this done... I'm 'borrowing' space on a friends computer for my files, and need to get them back so I can work, but I cant get enough space, cause I dont know how to do this....It's only this time so I can get it up and running..

how do I tag it on

you should use a partition tool such as Partition Magic 8 to do this.

PS
in the future please include something relavant to the issue in the thread name.

well...that's four times the same Q ? ( 3 to many ! )

egag

Don't post the same question multiple times. (Why can't people understand that!?)

open a terminal and type:

su
[password]
mkdir /mnt/oldcdrive
pico /etc/fstab

then paste this line into your fstab:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/oldcdrive auto noauto,user,rw 1 0

then press ctrl+x then y then enter to save your changes. use "mc" if "pico" is not on your system.

then type:

umount /dev/hda1 #(just in-case)
mkreiserfs /dev/hda1
reboot.

mount it using kdiskfree or similar

good luck, im off to bed
