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 --
Do not do any partition operations on mounted file system(s), I assume you are using ntfs-3g to mount those partitions in Linux. I have done similar partition re-sizing successfully without data loss, using gparted through a boot CD, preferring Parted Magic (http://partedmagic.com/), however it is highly recommended to make a partition /essential file/folder backup before proceeding.
