[SOLVED] Cannot resize windows partition...

[buccaneere]

It has a yellow exclamation point next to it.

It had the keys symbol, but I removed it from /etc/fstab, but that's when the ex point popped up on it.

Help?

We have to check existing partition structure of your harddisk. Post the output of fdisk -l command here.

sudo fdisk -l

or

su -
fdisk -l

Lemme' guess - it must be done with a Live CD boot?

chuckdl@chuckdl-laptop:~$ sudo fdisk -l

I booted a live disk, resized, and after some squeeling, on reboot, XP rebooted with a downsized partition.

Thanks...

Aren't you using LiveCD to edit partition table? GParted Partition manager is available in Ubuntu and Fedora LiveCDs.

Edit :
I am glad you have sorted out problem. Well Done !
