Probably, when you resize the partition you'd need to reformat the
partition, now what you could do is resize the me partition and create a
new linux partition from the room that you took from ME, meaning that
you would have 4 partitions (1 ME, 1 for /, swap, and 1 for home or
whatever), then you just format the new partition mke2fs /dev/hda4 (for
instance), and go to fstab then add an entry to mount the partition
automagically and your set (if you decied to make it home then just tar
everything over and you should be gtg), hope this helps

Subject: Partition magic

I am dual-booting a machine that has Windows Me and RH 7.3.  It has an
80GB hard drive, of which 50GB is allocated for Windows Me.

I want to use Partition Magic to resize it so that only about 10GB is
allocated for Windows Me.

Question:  If I take disk space from Windows Me and give it to the "/"
partition, will RH 7.3 freak out because (I'm guessing) it isn't
formatted
for Linux?  (I'm using ext2).

Thanks,
Charlie
