7/5 I want to delete my C: partition and expand my D: partition
on a Windoze box using Partition Magic. I tried doing this once
but I couldn't figure out how to turn D: into bootable (essentially
turning it into the C: partition). Anyone
have done this or have pointers on how to do this? In other words,
I want to turn partition 1 into partition 0 after deleting partition
0.
\_ I haven't played with PM for 3 years so this isn't everything you
need to know but for starters, you'll need to tag partition 1 as
'active'. You'll also need the boot up files at the start of the
disk. Which files varies with each version of Microsoft Windows.
If you had said which version instead of being a kewl Slashdotting
MS basher, I could've given you more details. Less religion = more
information. --MS Lovin' *NIX Guru
\_ Why? It sounds like you are halfway into a disaster. What problem
are you _really_ trying to solve? if windoze annoys you switch to a
better, free OS.
\_ Better? There aren't any 'better' free OS's. If there were,
MS would be gone already. There *are* no cost up front OS's
that are harder to use, install, and configure.
\_ more secure and stable as well
\_ More secure and stable? Both are chock full of holes
right out of the box. My linux boxes crash way more
often than my windows boxes. Gotta love seeing the
kernel dump trying to handle a simple nfs request. Oh
yeah, it must be that I suck and LINUX RULES!
\_ MS is still here not due to their software quality.
They are here because of unlawful monopolistic business
practices. For me, Linux is more efficient and more
fun. Wait 10 years, Microsoft will not be a monopoly
any more. Similar to IBM, there were cheaper
alternatives to their products. Using a free OS is like
going to college: spend time now learning to do usefull
things, and use what you've learned for years.
\_ If they weren't better in the first place they could
not have established a monopoly.
\_ Would you ask a rock to swim?
\_ Why not delete D and expand the C partition and boot from it? |
