| 387530 | 2005-09-11 11:27:00 | Grab a copy of the Linux distribution Knoppix from DSE and use QTParted - works just like Partition Magic without the cost! | johnd (85) | ||
| 387531 | 2005-09-11 22:48:00 | Grab a copy of the Linux distribution Knoppix from DSE and use QTParted - works just like Partition Magic without the cost! Hi Johnd. I happen to have a Knoppix cd but have never used it. How do I get Qtparted out of it? |

| 387533 | 2005-09-12 03:47:00 | YOu cannot resize a partition with the OS in that partition working. Boot to the Knoppix CD and run Linux from the CD. YOu will find in the menu somewhere the QTParted application. You can resize by sliding the partition with your mouse as you would in Partition Magic. As Graham says, QTParted is a Linux program, not MS Windows - so it will not run in Windows anyway. |

| 387534 | 2005-09-12 05:03:00 | Thanks for the info John and Graham. I'll have a go at that as time permits. | worl (8599) | ||
| 387535 | 2005-09-13 00:49:00 | Surely the question to ask is why does it keep filling up. Presume you are cleaning out all the temp files and running a tidy house. See FAQ ??. Presume you have Antivirus up to date. Grandson just had an experience, had'nt updated his antivirus, running XP with 40 GB drive and the content suddenly jumped from 11 GB to 25GB, updated the antivirus and cleaned out about 14 GB of temp files. | FrankS (257) | ||
