NTFS -> ext2
Is it possible to convert an ntfs to ext2 ?
I have a bunch of data on an ntfs and want to convert it to a ext2 partition. I would just move it over and make a new partition of ext2 then move it back over... but its a problem of space (its like 40gigs, and I dont have that as a surplus)
Any ideas of the best way to go about this?
Thanks alot

Even if there were a program that could do it, it takes SPACE to do straight conversions also!
Having lots of memory might help, but that depends upon the program... I suggest you break
down and get a new drive if you really need to do this... well, unless you still do have plenty of
room on that partition... Is it so full you can't add anything?! I'm not sure... can't check right
now as I'm under LInux!... but maybe PQ's Partition Magic 8.0 or better might do conversions.

You might be able to do it bit by bit using QTparted. Create an ext2 partition as big as you can, move some data into it, then run QTparted again to expand the partition , move some more data , etc.
Once you are done, I suggest you convert the ext2 to ext3, it is a more reliable format. The tool to use is tune2fs see man tune2fs for details.
