Hey Nick, you can use fdisk or (hfdisk)..<--not sure! In your command prompt you can view your partition table by using #>fdisk /dev/hd?? (if your not shure what your hard drive is labeled use (df) which will display most of the information you need) /this will run fdisk so you can view all your partitions, the command is (p) for print to view your partition table. (m) will display all the commands you can use with fdisk. Rember that after you delete, create, and motify your hard drive you will have to edit your /etc/fstab if you want these new partitions to be used by your OS, btw, what are you running..? In addition, if you mess-up, just press (q) quit this will not save any changes to your partition table, unless you use (w) write. Good luck and sorry for my first un-finished post. >On Tuesday, March 15, 2005 12:43 PM, Nick wrote: >> >>Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 12:43:31 -0600 >>From: Nick >>To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org >>Subject: [tclug-list] Linux Partition Question >> >>Thanks again for all your help everyone with my PSCP issue.
