Topic: Some clearifications when working on NTFS pls
Hello Guys
Situation:
I have a Windows XP installation (little bit completely crashed atm ***ms-stuff***) and I would like an Xubuntu installation on top of it = Dual Boot. But as far as I knows Xubuntu doesn't supports NTFS for its boot disc. So I need to resize my second partition (200GB, no OS-install) to shrink and to make a partition with the apropriate filesystem. I have done defragmentation just before XP had gone to semi-coma. The Partition I want to resize is very good defragmented
Software:
Live RescueCD - Xorg.com & GParted 0.3.4
Hardware:
AMD Athlon64 X2
MSI K8N Neo4-f
WDC WD2500KS-00MJB0
Questions:
1.
a) In GParted I can see the 2 Partitions, The places where the partitions a colored yellow, is that a correct representation of the fysical position of the data?
b) Is the representation in the windows defragmentation program correct? (Maybe You dont know this but I wonder)
2. When I do shrink this Partition and data drops out of the ranges I selected, what happens with it? Is this data rendered corrupt or is it replaced so it is situated within the correct boundery's?
Thanks CommCody
