| 496217 | 2006-11-03 08:17:00 | Referring this (cashmere.school.nz) screenshot of my hard drive setup from XP, How can I shift the extended partition over, and resize it to fit all free space? Also, I read somewhere that I can boot Linux from anywhere on my hard drive by having a boot partition at the start of the hard drive (I did this because I was previously getting Error 18 from GRUB), so how would I go about doing this, using the 40MB partition I have created there? Thanks |

You should probably do partitioning and boot loader configuration from within Linux as the Windows tools aren't aware of any other installed systems and may screw things up. Which Linux distro are you using? |
