520061 2007-01-28 20:48:00 You can't make alterations to a hard drive that is mounted. Try to unmount the spare partition first. If that fails, you may need to use a LiveCD with gparted on it and perform the task from that. Jen (38)
520062 2007-01-28 20:50:00 Thanks again,that looks like the problem. kjaada (253)
520063 2007-01-28 23:40:00 Just spotted this article go past on my KNewsTicker - Modify Your Partitions With GParted Without Losing Data (www.howtoforge.com). Looks a good guide with plenty of example images.

I also didn't realise that you can download GParted as a standalone LiveCD or LiveUSB - see here (gparted.sourceforge.net)

520064 2007-01-29 00:35:00 I had Gparted live and I worked around and got rid of the partition.I now have a big disk with Xn on the partition (formatted to reiserf) I had to put that little bit in to confuse Speedy.
Thanks again
