Hello, John. I used sometimes the Acronis Disk Director software. You can download a trial version from www.acronis.com. Then, you can resize your disk. Or, may be, you prepare a boot CD, and start with him. Be careful with the version of Acronis, because an old version could damage your partition. However, if you try the latest version, you can do this without problem. But, always you should copy your important data.

I just bought an HP Pavilion dv9925nr wiht Vista for my wife. Knoppix runs on it but I haven't sorted out the wireless LAN connection yet for Knoppix. I want to install Linux permanently on this box, which requres repartitioning. Currently there are two partitions, one for Vista and one for backup of Vista. I need suggestions for partitioning software that will allow me to reduce the size of the Vista partition to make room for a Debian partition. Suggestions on preparing the Vista partion prior to reduction in size are also welcome. Other than one or two emails and Firefox I have added no files to the system. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
