Resizing Partitions

tomaine2002 · 08-06-2008, 10:41 AM

I have a dual boot system, but I think I'll need more space no the Linux partition than I currently have. Is there any program I can use to shrink my windows partition and enlarge my Linux partition?

You can use parted magic to resize partition.

I'm trying to us QTparted, but when i select a partition the resize button is not selectable. How do I get QTparted to resize my partitions?

Is the partition currently mounted. If so, unmount it.

Do you have the correct "tools" loaded on your system, like ntfsprogs.

Cheers.

If it's Vista, use the Vista disk manager - it's not bad for M$oft software. Else use the gparted liveCD - I never had much luck with qtparted, and gave up trying it years ago.
