I know I can back up the fedora partition, resize it and and restore from backup. But that could take many hours of down time. I was wondering if there is a util that can do it to an unmounted fedora partition. Thanx.
I have used GParted to shrink, expand, and move partitions in Windows and Linux. I don't see any reason it won't work for you. Look for GParted on Google, download it and burn it to a CD. Boot the CD and just follow your nose. It will take some time to move a partition, but not hours. It is always a good idea to back up whatever you're going to mess with before you do it, but I haven't had any problems. Since you want to make Windows bigger, it should be fairly quick and easy; it's when you want to make Windows smaller that you run into problems. (You can probably reclaim about half of unused Windows space, but not more.) --doug -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
