You do not have any unmapped disk cylinders (as > I suspected when I asked for your fdisk -l) Maybe you missed something in the primary's listings, Gregory... I seem to recall there being some unmapped cyls there. I prefer using the gnome partition editor, myself (rather than partition magic)... it gives a nice user-friendly GUI so you can see what you're doing. The version I use comes in a 261MB bootable ISO from http://sysresccd.org/Download so the file systems can be easily accessed while unmounted. I'm wondering if the OP needs to 'unallocate' 1308MB on the end of the disk for CyberLink's MediaDirect (a real battery stretcher when using the laptop as a portable DVD player, since it let's you watch them without fully loading an OS). Does your Dell have a MediaDirect button next to the Power button, Paul? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
