The only thing that I have found, is that it may affect the Grub MBR contents. All I ended up doing was to boot the install CD then boot into rescue mode and reinstall grub back to the MBR, then I could boot the new drive again with the new partition sizes. Other than that, I found it to work very well. (And also works very quick) Wolf -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
