I just attempted to install SuSE 9.1 on my new Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop. When I got to the point of trying to resize the Windows partition (NTFS), I was prevented from doing so because it was mounted. So I removed the mount point and tried again. Did you umount it first? This time the resize operation did nothing -- no response when I pressed Alt-S. So I tried using a custom partition, and I got a message to the effect that this type of Windows partition could not be resized.
I resized 2 NTFS Windows XP home partitions on 2 e-Machines notebooks with 9.1, after defragging them in Windows.
The odd thing here is that several people reported in an earlier thread on this subject that they succeeded in resizing the NTFS partition. So I'm wondering why I got a different result than they did.
Why would the Windows partitions be mounted on an install? How did you install? Did you boot from the DVD? -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
