Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2769855 By: nobody I was talking to my uncles as to how to resize a partition on a harddrive without reformatting the entire drive and losing data. He told me a method of doing it using a Knoppix LiveCD. He said that he has tried it with SP1 and it has worked fine, but has not tried it with SP2 yet. So before I try it out I was wondering if anyone has tried the following method using Knoppix LiveCD on SP2 and has had it work properly. I have only one partition on my 60 GB harddrive (deafult...never made a partition before on it). 1. Take the backup of your absolute necessary files (just in case 1%). 2. Create a KNOPPIX bootable LiveCD. 3. Boot the computer in Windows XP. 4. Log in as Administrator 5. Defragment the C drive. and Note down the disk space used by your data. 6. Shutdown the computer. (Note: Shutdown... Not restart) 7. Boot into KNOPPIX using the KNOPPIX liveCD. 8. Go to K->Application->qtParted ... I don't remember the actual path.. but If you search throught the menu, you will get it. 9. Select the HD (/dev/hda). 10. Select /dev/hda1 (or partition 1). 11. Select Tools->Resize (or Option ->resize) 12. It will ask you the Value to resize... give whatever value you are comfortable with... 13. it will resize.. Shutdown and reboot in Wndows just to make sure that your parition is correct.
