- Dual boot Fedora Linux and Windows XP, resizing NTFS :: fedora partition
Apercu : To follow this tutorial, you should be comfortable with installing operating systems, partitioning hard disks and burning cdroms from iso images. Boot computer from that cd. Save by clicking disk icon from toolbar. Qtparted automatically does everything needed to resize the partition (runs ntfsresize and the actual partitioning program). Save by clicking the disk icon on top left, and choose yes to commit the changes. Repartitioning can take 10 minutes or more. You can also choose which operating system is booted up by default. Mouse: (whatever is autodetected, usually ps2, ps2 wheel mouse or usb wheel mouse), emulate 3 buttons. Automatically partition, keep all partitions and use existing free space. Do not allow incoming traffic and do not trust any devices). Root password: secret passphrase, unlimited length. Use big/small letters, numbers, special chars (! Del would reboot and cancel install). Click next to proceed installing. Core 1 takes about 40 minutes, and you must change cds twice. Login: eight characters, no caps, eg: tkarvine. Now you can log in. Linux, that you can boot, browse web pages, write documents and (optionally) print them. Windows no longer recognizes those partitions. The problem is annoying but fixable without data loss. There are also other sources to check the correct geometry, such as printings on hard disks and sometimes bios. Windows will likely check hard disks on first boot.
