When I resized with qtparted, I did notice a small partition marked as
"hidden".
When I did the resize, it seemed to gobble this up in to the new free
space.
I have seen this a lot. It's as if XP "rounds off" your disk capacity.
I have never found a good explanation, but then I am in the habit of
making my computers dual-boot which reclaims the lost space.
XP started and seemed to operate fine after this though....
(Hope I haven't screwed anything!).
No, you likely are just fine. I have run like this for years on
several machines.
The nasty dual-boot bug of FC2 appears to be a thing of the past.
Ah, is this the "hard disk geometry" thing
(http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html
Yes. If you can install without getting errors or warnings about
geometry, you're all set.
)? I stumbled across that earlier and was really really hoping I
wouldn't have to deal with it later (I wouldn't mind going out this
evening if I get a chance :o)
Go on out and enjoy! Erik
