On the hard drive we have as follows according to qt parted partition size used space start end recovery 1 /dev/sda1 ntfs 15.54 gb N/A 0.03 mb 15.54 gb recovery 2 /dev/sda2 nfts 115.55 gb 37 gb 15.54gb 13108. gb partittion the rest of the hard drive is filled with opensuse, linux mint etc. Partittion 1 and 2 is windows vista but won't open probably on account off sda1 is full, in other words; vista cannot operate unless it has free space in da1 to backup Is there a way with "Qt parted" to decrease /dev/sda2 and increase the backup sda1 by the same in order for vista to backup I do understand that we should not discuss windows on the forum but I do need windows yet for wubi, taxes, and bibel programs, (some combo) John H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
