Hello folks, After a very frustrating laptop hard disk failure, I am back up and running. This last weekend I decided to get Linux re-installed onto my computer in case of another drive failure. I have noticed, though, that my hard drive simply will not repartition itself when I use Partition Magic. Is this a property of NTFS under Windows? If so, will fdisk in the Slackware setup be able to resize the partitions on the drive so I can install it? Sorry for the somewhat abckwards question, but I can't see any way around this aside from reformatting the drive, which right now isn't an option. Thanks very much for any assistance, Steve Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
