Personally, I simply use the partitioner on the System Rescue CD.

i use qtparted most of the time, it's only downside is support for ntfs, which still doesnt work. and this brings me to another question, are ext3 partition resizeable? i noticed that pqmagic doesnt allow it, and i once used paragon on windows, it did agree to resize the ext3. it only made one tiny problem though, the whole DAMN partition got corrupt, no file was readable anymore, and i ended up reinstalling gutsy (yeah, it was my /usr partition, stupid me).

gparted/qtparted are just gui wrappers for parted - so there's no reason to

be afraid of qtparted just because it _may_ not be as mature as gparted,

and why install all the gnome support just for a partitioning tool?

Which is what I do too. *I don't bother to keep a partitioner on my live

system, because it's highly unlikely I'll ever use it.

I made a live cd with gparted on it, works like a charm :-)
the image for the live cd is readily available on the internet.. can't
remember the link now, but I'm sure google will find it for you :-)

With the gparted live cd I resized my ntfs and ext3 (/home) partition
yesterday.. No problems whatsoever... just if you need to move files
around and all it's gonna take looooong.. so don't try to squeeze that
in just before you need your computer :P took all evening here, but then
again, I probably moved 300GB of data in total.

Thanks for that. You mention ntfs partitions. Using kdf my sda1
partition does not show the type. I assume it is ext3. Does it matter
which type it is?

Hi

I want to dual boot FC13 and Sabayon5.3

I googled and there are thousands of dual boots out there..

Does Fedora have a simple good one?

TIA

Hi,
you are very enigmatic with that "there are thousands of dual boots out there".
Regardless, I will try to help, if the below is what you mean.

Let's assume you have a fresh disk.

You install F13 by formatting the disk accordingly (that is you take some space
for F13, leave some for other distros/OS's), and install its boot loader (GRUB)
to MBR, by which it becomes the main boot loader for F13 and other installations.

Then, you install your other distro (e.g. Sabayon), but install its boot loader
to its own root partition (/boot subdirectory).

Next, you boot F13, sign in as root and modify its GRUB to present you with
a boot menu that includes Sabayon, by whose selection you also boot it).

Assuming that you partitioned the sda disk like:
/dev/sda1 # F13 root partition, which corresponds to "root (hd0,0)"
/dev/sda2 # Sabayon root partition, which corresponds to "root (hd0,1)"

here is an example cut of a dual boot GRUB config file:

# cat /etc/grub.conf
...
title Fedora (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 ro
root=UUID=4a459357-74f1-4bb2-8924-0a834b58982c rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD
rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us
noiswmd rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686.img

title Sabayon
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

Hi,
I have dell inspiron 5010 with windows 7 with microsoft security essentials as antivirus software. I installed ubuntu 10.04 on the machine. I think it works good. But when I start windows it itells me there is a trojan in the boot sector on the HDD. Removing it is okay, but at the next restart the same warnning pops up again.
Could it be possible that microsoft security essentials*considers the grub as trojan??
*
thanks
ali

<snicker> I'd say you're asking for weirdness like that when you mix
anything Microsoft with the free unixverse.
