Question is what application allows you to mess with logical partitions hiding inside extended partitions? I ran into this Monday, yesterday, morning: Dual Boot: Windows 2003 Server and FC4. Layout - /dev/hda1 is Windows 2003 server 10GB /dev/hda2 is Linux /boot /dev/hda3 is Swap /dev/hda4 is extended with only /root on /dev/hda5 Students were asked by another instructor to delete Partition 0 (Windows 2003) and split it into 2 logical partitions. Student comes to me and asks if that is even possible and I reply "Not with Windows." Fedora Core Question: Is that even possible with FC4 (or FC5, or any Linux Distro)? Seriously, I am curious =) -- WC -Sx- Jones | http://ccsh.us/ | Open Source Consulting
