Greetings again list:
I have been reading a lot of info about NFTS used on this laptop by
Windoz-XP. The original thought was to simply re-size the HD to make room
for Linux. Now, after reading all these warnings, I am wondering if
re-sizing is even possible or sane? One user on a local LUG strongly advised
against attempting to resize the drive.
After reading up on both Gnu/Parted and Randish(sp), I think it isn't the
best idea to try to resize NTFS. However, I would like to get any info from
others who may have actually done this and succeeded.
I did procure a copy of Partition Magic 7.0, which apparently will try to
resize the NTFS partition. My reasoning is: worse case, I can always dump an
old copy of windoz98se and try to locate drivers later.
The reason I wanted to save this installation was to be able to use a generic
windoz box when testings stuff like browsers, my LAN network settings, etc.
Concensus? Should I go for it, or foobar the hd/working install and start
over with win98se and hope drivers exist?
