Primary Partition fat32 (C: drive) Linux ext3 /boot Linux ext3 / Linux Swap Swap Logical Partition fat32 (My Documents)
I am using Mandrake 9.2 along side Windows 98se on the same 20Gb hard drive. My question is, since I am running out of space in logical drive containing My Documents, can I shrink the size of the / partition to make more room for the logical fat32 partition?
