Urza9814 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I need a disk partitioning prog...DOS or Linux, I don't care, but it can't run under windoze like SwissKnife does, because then it can't increase the drive size. I installed a second install of mandrake to attempt a live CD, and then later used that space for Debian...problem is, I took 2gigs outta my windoze C:\ drive (leaving it at 6 :P) and now I need that space back to install Baldur's Gate II :P wait...it can't run under linux...because my linux is broken...crap. Unless it's command-line...but then it'd be really hard to use...lol... but yea, the only free one I can find is BootIt NG which can't do it for some odd reason...I think it needs to adjust the MBR and I don't think it can do that...or something...

Urza9814 Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 yea...but...I need to get about $40 a month until christmas, assuming I don't spend any money except on my gf for christmas until then, and then in theory I SHOULD be able to get a new comp...so I don't have the money for cedega right now...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Also, WinXP's disk manager has a feature for merging separate partitions into one. Can't recall what it's called. Right-click on a partiation. I don't know if its safe to use with linux on the same hard drive though so this may not be YOUR solution :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 (edited) Woah...windoze has a disk manager? I can't find it... Linux isn't on this hard drive anymore...so that's not a problem Mandy has it's own drive (twice the size :P) This part was just for messing around with creating a LiveCD and Gentoo and Debian...all of which failed, so it's been an unused Debian partition for...I dunno...a few months...lol edit: Oh hey! There it is! Hmm...can't figure out how to combine 'em...maybe I need to format it first. If not, I'll just call it G and install stuff there...

Jet2k5 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I just now started to dual-boot with windows so far no problems at all. I downloaded Partition Magic from a bitTorrent. Works great. -Luis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
