I recently removed a partition with 1.2 g of memory. I removed it thinking ill gain more memory but i didnt. I had 15g free space nd when i removed it i thought it’ll go up to 16.2 but it didnt. Wat happend? Can i recover tht lost memory? I’ve heard about something called partition logic. Can i use it to remove partitions without losing any memory?

I’m running MySQL 5.1 and Windows 2008. No problem creating partitions on a single disk…but seems impossible to partition across multiple disks on Windows using MySQL InnoDB setup. Tried manually creating symlinks. Can’t find anything on web. Is it not possible to partition a MySQL table across multiple disks on Windows?

I just recently download Fedora 7. This is my first time using Linux. I noticed that all my partitions on the same ide disk are listed as sda1,sda2,sda3. Isn’t it supposed to be hda1,hda2, and so on?

I created a dual boot system with windows xp. Everything seems to be working fine but I wouldn’t know what fine is since I have never used Linux.

Any help, tips, links or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Existing configuration is one SCSI disk with two partitions, one for OS, the other for data. OS is SBS2003. I want to increase the OS partition size. I am quite familiar with Partition Magic for changing partition sizes on IDE and SATA drives, but I understand an ASPI driver is required in order to do the same on a SCSI disk. I have no experience with this. Can anyone provide the means/drivers to do this, or a better method? Thanks in advance.

Hi, my computer has a virus and I want to reformat the (C:) drive only. I have other drives for movies and games. If I reformat the C: drive will the others be reformatted?
Do I just select the C: drive and click reformat and then I am done?
