Hi!
Nop. Ok. You partitioned your HD when installing the operating systems. Once
you have written the partition table (once you finished fdisk or diskdruid
on installation), the partitions remain the same size you specified. In
other words, partition sizes are not dynamic.
Want to play with BEOS, well, I can think about three solutions.
1. Install a new hard disk and install BEOS on it.
2. Repartition your hard drive and leave some space for BEOS, which means
you will loose all the information you have on your hard disk and reinstall
everything (I really mean *everything*). On the other hand, you may want to
uninstall only one OS (uninstalling Winblow$ is definitely an option - or
should I say THE option?? =) ) and use the space occupied for it's
partitions to install BEOS.
3. Look up for some tool such as fips or partition magic to resize your
partitions and make some room for BEOS. You should better make BACK UPS of
your files, because, although you are not supposed to have any problem with
this tools, you may eventually loose your data. THERE IS ALWAYS DATA RISK ON
RESIZING PARTITIONS.
-Manuel.

Asunto: Re: Quick disk partitioning question
Can you unspecify it in Linuxconf or something? I'm thinking I'd like to
play around with Beos a bit, but Linux and Windows seem to have consolidated
my hd. I did check the grow to fill option for my home partition, that's
why. Thanks in advance.
