thanks everyone for your suggestions. i do accept that lvm was a little difficult to grasp, but once i got the hang of it, it was a breeze. thanks roberto for a great idea! the thing i forgot to do that made me confused for awhile, was that i did not set the single partition to be of type "Physical

If you have not yet installed, then don't worry about it. The installer lets you choose LVM as an option. Then you can add your harddrive as a physical volume and then make it the logical volume. From there you can create volume groups, which are analogous to partitions but can be resized at w

PM 4.0 seems to work fine with ext2 partitions themselves with one exception - and that exception actually involves only Lilo and not ext2 itself. When you move or resize an ext2 partition that has Lilo installed in the boot sector of the partition, PM 4.0 attempts to rewrite that boot sector to

It wanted to put ext2 partitions inside a logical partition and I didn't like that. It also seemed to read my drive cylinder geometry incorrectly (well, at least differently than linux). I found that the best way to do it is to use PM to resize the win partition and leave free space on the HD. Th
