usually computers come with a burn tool for that partition, which you can use I know HP has one on their systems but I never used it no need to.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/19/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug</a><br>><br>You delete and then create the partition AFTER you resize with<br>ntfsresize. Read the man page on ntfsresize, it explains it very<br>clearly. I only use fdisk as well, very old and simple and just plain works.
