Hello,
I cannot resize my windows partition. It says nftsresize error... I've defregmented my Windows partition and there is at least 6go available so I don"t understand...
How could I resize my windows partition in order to gain space on my linux partition ?
Thanks !

Hey,
I'm using the tool in 'configure your computer' in Mandrake 10 / KDE. It's in mounting, there is a button called resize...
I would like not to format my windows partition, but If it's the only solution, I don"t mind doing it...
Thanks for replying...

hi there

u can use some tools which will resize ur partitions without formatting ur drive
like parttion magic is one of them and the other u were talking about

but personally i feel u should format ur drives and then reparttion,because u never know wih these thrid party tools

But still if you format, you need a tool to partition... I don"t understand...
What do you recommend using ? And how to move a partition ?

hi there

either use the fdisk by linux or windows ,thats what i prefer

what u should do is
backup ur data ,then delete that partiton,make two partitons of that and foramt them both
and use them accordingly
