Partitioning with Linux
I recently installed Red Hat Linux 9.0 on my box, so that now it's a dual boot between win2k and Linux. Unfortunately, I gave my root partition way too much space (around 70gb), some of which I need to give back to windows (which has about 2gb of free space). I went through the Red Hat documentation and, per its instructions, rebooted in rescue mode, told it NOT to mount the harddrive with the partition I wanted to resize (the root partition, on hdb), and proceeded to run parted, a utility included with Red Hat. Parted, however, was unable to resize the partition ("yet," it said), and I can't think of another way to do it besides deleting, once again, all partitions on that hdd, and reinstalling Linux (i.e. using Disk Druid) - which I would prefer not to do; let's just say I want to do it a little more elegantly .
Thanks to anyone who can help me.
