Will it give me a list of all the mounted ones and would the ram give it the busy status

**cheetahman** · 08-12-2005

So busy does mean its mounted

You're commiting all changes. Warning, you can lost data!
Make sure also that you're not commiting a busy device...
In other word PLEASE UMOUNT ALL PARTITIONS before commiting changes!

Well you should umount the disk you are changing. For example:

umount /dev/hda1

So if I wanted to resize Windows I would

umount /dev/hda2

Yes, if thats the location of your ntfs partition, basically, make sure it's unmounted and then resize.

**cheetahman** · 08-13-2005

Unmounted all partitions by right clicking and clicking unmount

hda1
hda2
hda3

Says Status:Available

**budman7** · 08-13-2005

Status:Available means that it is not busy and you will be able to partition it.

Unless the bad sectors stop you.

THat seems to be your DVD drive -- you don't partition DVD drives

Thanks also they have a new version of qtparted 0.4.5 can't find the changelog to see what changed.It would be great if I could get a .tgz version of it for Slax and convert it to .mo so Slax uses it.
