| 77352 | 2002-09-07 06:38:00 | I have linux on a drive in my XP machine (Xp on one drive, Linux on the other)... I'm wanting to halve the size of the drive Linux is on to use more for XP. Can I use Partition magic to change/resize/create partitions on the Linux drive without annoying Linux at all? Mike. |

| 77353 | 2002-09-07 09:07:00 | I just read a post that was by loser (??) that was saying that it doesn't work well with linux. I think the linux partitioner should be able to do it though. |

| 77354 | 2002-09-07 10:06:00 | Does Linux let you partition without needing to reformat? Mike. |

| 77355 | 2002-09-07 10:36:00 | I would think Partition Magic would be able to do what you want. I think PM after version 4 support Linux quite well. I have PM 7 Pro of this excellent utility. I haven't altered the size of my Linux partition since I installed it so I can't say for certain that it will work OK. I did a search on the PM site for "Linux partitions".

| 77356 | 2002-09-07 10:36:00 | I have no idea. I'd wait for Graham L.... :D But when you install it it manages to partition with out losing the windows data so I think it must be able to. |

| 77357 | 2002-09-07 10:56:00 | did something similar to this (and more) a few months ago without a glitch, indeed also experimented successfully with Partition Manager. Always backup your valuable data first, when this kind of s/w makes a mistake it's usually ugly. | rob2pearson (1802) | ||
