In the past, I have maintained versions of Partition Magic for use in installfests. I'm a bit leary on trying parted on participants machines without some experience.
Is GNU Parted that comes with the SuSE 9.0 installer sufficient to safely resize a Windows XP NTFS partition?
Jerry, I have no experience using SuSE to repartition. However, if you have a copy of Knoppix, it worked like this for me: Reboot with Knoppix CD - it loads into RAM, mounting all partitions ro. Start a konsole, type su - no passwd needed :) Type qtparted and it's gui will fire up, displaying your drive/s Repartitioning is a breeze with this app. It's a Partition Magic clone written in C++ using the QT GUI Toolkit. Get this GNU software at: http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/ I've used it more than once on laptops and desktops, never had a problem. !!Important!! - do a defrag on your 'other' OS 1st. HTH Darryl
