partitions

[pink skitz]

Hi, I have a 19 GB drive and id like to resize it using diskdrake but have no idea how I can access the program (or if i can resize my partitions after i haven installed linux mandrake). C I used PM version 6 to partition my drive in which I allocated 8 GB to windows. Once I had partitioned my drive (and allocated space for windows) I then installed Linux Mandrake 8 and used disk drake to allocated the rest of the space to Linux (about 11GB) . but I've realised that I don't use Linux much just yet and so id like to use Diskdrake to resize my drive do I can reduce the size of linux (to the minimum) and allocate more to windows (and I cant.im realy short on space for windows at the momnet so um...any suggestions as to what i can/should do? :)

Why not just boot back into Windows and use Partition Magic again to resize your drive?

becuse PM wont allow it (gone over my limit)

Ahh...ya mean you are using the trial version? I'd say go out and buy it, but, if you want to try other partitioning programs, go to these links (they are free):

No, I meant to say that I’ve gone over my limit of space allocation, as in ive allocated the max I can (about 8gb) and that if I wish to increase the space for windows partition, PM wont allow it. do u know how I can resize my partition using Diskdrake?
