Folks, I have come across a problem relating to partitions. I have a multi boot box with Ubuntu 7.10, Fedora 8 and Win 2K. There is also a very large unallocated section of disk space. The two linux partitions are sitting together on an extended partition and I would like to make each smaller. None of the partition managers would allow me to shrink the partitions. In playing with the partitions, I decided to create a new partition in the unallocated area and copy, one linux version at a time, delete the current linux partition, create a new smaller one and copy that linux version back. Once finished, do the other linux version. After creating the new partition, but before the copy, I tried to boot into Windows and got the BSOD. I can rebuild, but what happened? Once I rebuild Windows, I know that grub will no longer work. How should I go about backing up what I have and then restoring it after the Windows build? The boot loader is being managed through Ubuntu. Last thing for now, before someone shoots me for all these newbie questions, would you mind clearing something up for me. I thought HDx was for IDE drives while the SDx was for the SCSI drives. I have this machine I am building where the drive is SATA but it is recognized as my SD0 drive. thanks, Michael The information contained in this message and any attachment may be proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject to the work product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure.
