Installing Knoppix on a computer with Winxp already on it.

Alot of programs give you errors when you see ther output in a consol. You can just ignore them.

(My typing just gets worse and worse.)

Yeah, but I can't resize my HDD because of it. Whenever I try, that message pops up, and then the hard drive has no change whatsoever.

I tried to resize it so I could get about 15-16 gigs for one partition.

Another Note is that the konsole had a message that basicly said that knoppix does not support ntfs yet. So i believe that i have to convert some of my HDD to fat32 (if thats possible).

Can someone recommend me a program to convert parts of a Ntfs drive to Fat32? About 15 gigs.

What version of knoppix are you useing?

The current ones fully support resizing NTFS.

[sethosayher]

Knoppix 3.6

is that the latest?

And does booting with the 2.6 kernel effect the ability to resize ntfs?

Yes, I thing 2.6 does affect ntfs resizer, try 2.4

[sethosayher]

Alright, i'll try both.

I'm gonna install this baby if its the last thing I do!

try 2.4

But I thought the 2.6 kernel had more native NTFS capabilities than 2.4.

I don't know anything about that, but I think I read that ntfsresizer has problems with that kernel.

Found it.

Ahh, i ran the qtpartion program in both kernals, same error.

Is ntfsresize a program i can get?

[sethosayher]
