Check out how I managed to convert two of my friends to use Linux and they later became full time users: http://www.docplanet.org/en/linux/7-steps-to-convert-a-windows-user-to-linux/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208479109120950856.post-12209704505130904182009-07-05T21:20:45.862-07:002009-07-05T21:20:45.862-07:00@John, your explanation of the problem is a bit confusing, what are you trying to do?<br /><br />If you&#39;re looking to resize partitions, first - backup any pertinent data you have to a secondary hard drive or other media, and then you can download and burn(google infrarecorder for a tool to burn) the Ubuntu.com *.iso livecd, which contains the gparted partition editor utility. <br /><br />You can then boot to the Ubuntu Linux cd, and use System&gt;Administration&gt;Partition Editor to change the size of your partitions.<br /><br />Send me an email at this link if you need some personalized help:<br />http://shannonvanwagner.com/email-me.php<br /><br />Please provide a detailed description of your problem, to include what result you expect from a fix.<br /><br />Regards,<br />ShannonShannon VanWagnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00902572387191538052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208479109120950856.post-54360180514053290502009-07-05T15:53:12.869-07:002009-07-05T15:53:12.869-07:00Hi Shannon. We installed a new formatted Vista Disk in my daughter&#39;s notebook. However, we are locked out of her old(smaller)primary drive because it is locked. How can we get into it so to copy her files over without reinstalling the drive again because it still works fine but she needed a larger drive. Thanks.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208479109120950856.post-85269835623641176282009-04-26T23:32:00.000-07:002009-04-26T23:32:00.000-07:00Excellent suggestions &amp; thanX for such a comprehensive list. <br /><br />www.50-1-50.com50-1-50http://www.blogger.com/profile/17208740853082696629noreply@blogger.com
