Hello, I have a dual boot system with XP and Linux Mandrake 9.1.

I'm nearly out of disk space on the XP partition, and there is space for miles left in the linux partitions. So, I would like to resize them.

However, I used the latest versions of Partition Magic and Acronis PartitionExpert and they both say that my ext3 partitions are full, when they aren't even close to being full. Needless to say, I can't resize them.

Help!
 
maybe you tried resizing the wrong ext3 partition *shrugs*

if I remember correctlly, Mandrake has something that helps resize partitions (I think it only works for linux partitions, tho.)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
