Hard Drive reporting free space incorrectly?

[Moleguy]

Let me start by telling u im a complete newb to the world of Linux so try to say things slowly .

Following the "Getting started " guide on the Red Hat webby, I have managed to get 3 Redhat 9 Linux CDs.

My problem is this;
On install, when i want to resize the existing partition I have ( Windows FAT32), and I type resize 1020 36880 ( or watever ). IT waits for a while then tells me that " The hard Drive is reporting Free Space as 16131 not 16003, Ignore or Cancel" Or something along those lines.

I dont want to break my hd even though i have backups .
So, should I ignore this error? In case you havent guessed I wimped out at this error and chose cancel .

Thanks a lot for ure time and answers.

what are you using to resize your partition on your hd?
i recommend using partition magic. it is prolly one of the best partitioning tool out there for windows. and its not distructive and is easy to use too :P
