    Win2k/Linux/Partition Magic

    Ok, here's my situation:

    I installed Win98 a while ago, then linux. A few days ago I installed Win2k and made two partitions, one NTFS and one FAT32. I want to take space away from the FAT32 one and give it to NTFS. However, when I try to run PM, it gives me an error 117: cannot read drive letter, or some such. So I deleted my Linux partitions in the hope that it would cure that. I still get the error, however. Any ideas as to how I can delete or resize partitions? I don't want to have to wipe my disk, but I will if I have to.

    If this problem is due to something minor, you will be able to run PM from DOS or MS-DOS mode under Windows.

    Running from bootable rescue diskettes is the safest & easiest way to run PM from DOS. PM has an option to make these diskettes if they were not made during PM install.

    I've got that exact same problem, except just with Win98 and Linux. If you come up with any solutions, I'd be interested to hear them..
