I will try the latest version. Am working remotely and was hoping there was something I could do since the users are already off line.
Thanks for the reply.
Re: Cannot have a length of -1 sectors
I'm sorry Renee, but btw Plors is away, and i cant solve this alone. But so far i can remember this bug as been solved in next release.
Any way, which fs are you trying to resize ?

It is a Windows 2003 server. Just booted with version 0.3.3 and got the same error. Think this is a software bug and not something with my server?
I appreciate your help.

i guess this might be NTFS, right ?
could you print any screenshot and post its url somewhere ?
To take a screenshot within the livecd : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/documentation.php
To save the file : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/ti … etails.htm
(it is for details, but it works with all kind of file, of course)

Re: Cannot have a length of -1 sectors
please let us know if this problem persists in the latest release.
Re: Cannot have a length of -1 sectors
Yes, it still showed with the latest version. Have decided the problem is with our image file. Not a problem with Gparted. Thanks for your help.

Hi, what makes you think it's a problem with your image file? I'd like to make absolutely sure this isn't a gparted issue, so maybe you can explain it in little bit more detail?
thnx!
