This is how my 20 GB disk looks today: hda1 Linux, /boot 24 hda2 Linux swap 133 hda3 A Linux root 8197 <- the 1024 limit is here hda4 PRI DOS FAT32-LBA 11217
I would like to have a FAT16 partition too, so I can run DOS 6.0. But I guess DOS 6.0 doesn't like being beyond the 1024th cylinder. I can delete my FAT32 partition temporarily (but I don't want to lose my linux fs), so if I could move the files in hda3 I could make - after two copies - the hd to look like this: hda1 Linux, /boot 24 hda2 Linux swap 133 hda3 FAT16 1000 hda4 A Linux root 8197 hda5 PRI DOS FAT32-LBA 10217 I think I could use dd for copying (right?)...but what about hda3 going hda4? Will that cause much trouble? We're talking about the root file system here... Please give me the right command for copying the partition - I don't want to make a beginner's mistake here... Maybe it would be better having it look like this: hda1 Linux, /boot 24 hda2 FAT16 1000 hda3 A Linux root 8197 hda4 Linux swap 133 hda5 PRI DOS FAT32-LBA 10217 Then hda3 won't change, but the swap partition will...how do I change what is the swap partition? / David
