I recently bought a vprMatrix laptop and am trying to setup a dual boot winXP/Debian configuration.
I'm used to using fips to repartition windows drives non-destructively, however it can't handle the NTFS partition. So I tried PowerQuests's Partition Magic to resize the existing partition to make room for Debian. Running PM8 under WinXP I resized the 30 GB drive to about 8 GB for WinXP and 22 for Debian. It says it needs to reboot to make the changes. I let it reboot. I see some message from PM come up during the boot up, screen flashes a few times and windows boots back up. I run PM8 to check the current state of the partitions and there is no change. I tried running PM8 off the bootable CD in dos mode, make the same desired partition table and hit apply, I receive an "Volume bitmap wrong size file 6 (128)" error message. Can anyone offer any advice? Eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
