Yes, 2 hard disks but not using the PC at same time. They are mounted on

Hi Bob,
Lot of thanks for your detail information and time spent for its preparation.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding. I am not going to buy a new hard disk
and transfer data from the old disk to the former after configure it. I
can only make use of CDRW and CD-Writer to assist this job.

That is why I said it costs some money. But the new drive is much less
expensive than lost data. Also you get faster boot times if you replace
with a 7200 rpm or better drive. 3400 or 5400 rpm drives are strictly

But it does take careful study and it costs some money.
I haven't tested this procedure on a source disk which contains both
Linux and Microsoft Windows partitions. So I don't know how well this
will work on such a source
Hi Muhammad,
Thanks for your detail advice.

How big are these partitions and what are these partitions mounted on?
I guess partition /dev/hda1 is "/" and /dev/hda2 is the physical which
holds the
logical /dev/hda3 swap partition.

If it has 1 partition only you will need to backup on to another drive. If it

SL> 1) How to display the existing partition in full detail
I always just use the command-line 'fdisk', issue a p (for print) then
a q (for quit) and that's usually enough for me. Check out /etc/fstab
too.

You can find "parted" on the Web, which supposedly will resize ext2 and
ext3 partitions, with some limits. Never tried it myself. Might be
easier to backup and repartition, depending...

Hi Muhammad
Thanks for your advice.

easier
Thanks in advance.

er.. can't really defragment a hard disk in Linux, it isn't as messy
Hi All Folks,
Kindly advise
1) How to display the existing partition in full detail
2) What command shall issue to "defragment" the hard disc on Linux
3) What shall be the safe and easy way to re-partition a hard disc
Thanks in advance
