Faced with the possibility of having to start over, I booted my knoppix CD and made a partimage for the linux and moved the audio data off the partition.
I used fdisk to delete the fat partition. QTparted would still not read the disk so I did everything in fdisk, leaving the original linux partitions and swap in place. Now QTparted will read it, complaining most bitterly but would read it. I had to manually make all the filesystems. Now I copied the stuff I wanted to move to the new partitions and then moved the originals to a save directory. Reran lilo, just to be sure and rebooted. O Wow, the thing worked. Moved the audio back to its now larger place and removed the save directory. Keeping the partimage around for now. Thanks for all the advice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
