Hello!
Having trouble upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1 ('EBDA too big' error, upgrade process taking literally hours before crashing at 40%, etc ...), I checked under Win XP with Partition Magic and the 5Gb ext2 partition is full ...
My HDD partioning is as follows:
/dev/hda 27.9 Gb 0 3467 /dev/hda1 13.6 Gb NTFS 797 2581 C: /dev/hda2 8.1 Gb Extended 2582 3647 /dev/hda3 4.9 Gb Linux native 0 637 / /dev/hda4 1.2 Gb Linux swap 638 796 swap /dev/hda5 8.1 Gb NTFS 2582 3647 D:
I can do with 11Gb in C: and 5Gb in D: , giving an extra 5.7 Gb to add to the Linux native partition. Partition magic can free space from C: and D: , creating another partition after D: , but it can only merge it with a NTFS or FAT32 partition.
Question: How I can allocate the free space to the Linux partition? (keeping in mind I can boot under XP but not Linux)
TIA
