I'm trying to give knoppix or whatever other distro I want to install a partition on my HD. I have an 80GB drive that is one big NTFS partition for my Win XP pro installation. QTParted tells me this about my current partitions:
number partition type status size used space start end
(windows symbol)01 /UNIONFS/dev/hda1 ntfs Active 74.52GB 58.63GB 0.03MB 74.52GB
02 /UNIONFS/dev/hda-1 free 7.84MB N/A 74.52GB 74.53GB
I don't know the reason for the small 7MB partion.
Here is what I get after it "resize":
number partition type status size used space start end
(windows symbol)01 /UNIONFS/dev/hda1 ntfs Active 69.25GB N/A 0.03MB 69.25GB
02 /UNIONFS/dev/hda-1 free 5.28GB N/A 69.25GB 74.53GB
I make sure my hda is unmounted and "commit":
It works for a while and then I get the error message: "An Error Occured! :("
I've looked around for an answer, but couldn't find one on the QTParted home or here. Help would be appriciated or else I'll have to give up on Linux again. Thanks in advance for any help.
