Hi,
I haa a fully populated disk hda in which the first two primary
partitions were fat32. The first one had Windows XP in it and the second
one had non-OS data.
I wanted to shrink the second one to enlarge the first one.
I used Knoppix 4.02 CD and qtparted to shrink the second one by 3.16G. I
can boot into Windows XP and Debian now, but in Debian I get this when I
run "fdisk /dev/hda":
Command (m for help): v
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
Partition 2: head 255 greater than maximum 16
6649951 unallocated sectors

I would try http://www.ranish.com/part/
That tool is located on a swiss army knife CD called UBCD, ultimate boot cd:
http://mackan.servehttp.com/bootcd/ubcd.zip
My extensive database backed notes failed me again: I don't know where I
got the CD from, but ranish is very good. Google for ultimate boot cd.
I mistrust any resizeing tool. Years ago that M$ based for pay resizer,
completely screwed up a linux partition resizing. Unless someone can
prove of course that resizing in fact *did* work.
