Reclaim and reformat partition.

[Lamont]

The deed is done. Using cfdisk I deleted the partition and was then able to use PartitionMagic to move and resize the other partitions. The only hickup was that after booting into Win2k and redoing the partitions Win2k will no longer boot. I get an error about a bad file. No biggie. I'll just reinstall it.

Important thing is that the Knoppix install is still there and working, along with the data partition

Thanks for the help.

I do this with qtparted. Once in a while qtparted won't delete a partition or resize it at which point I revert to cfdisk.

Good Luck,

You probably don't need to. If you've been shuffling partitions around, you simply need to adjust the partiion number in the C:\boot.ini file.

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(N)\WINDOWS

Adjust the "N" value above. You can do this from knoppix if your C: unit is writable (hence *not* NTFS). Otherwise, the NT/XP recovery console should help you (see the "fixboot" and "fixmbr" commands)

I reinstalled the Win2k image and all is as it should be now. I am amazed at how well Knoppix works on my Toshiba (Satellite 1415-S173).

Thanks for the help.
