Hi, all,
In order to enable hibernation for linux on my
laptop, I have to prepare the second
primary partition to be
an empty
1gig-sized formatted FAT16 partition for hibernation. For short, Debian is on
hda 5 at the moment. If I divide
the first partition into two partitions, does that mean hda5 will be hda6
instead and MBR would still boot
on hda5 and Debian wouldn't boot at all?
Here is the long version.
The problem is
that I have Windows XP
at hda1 and Debian at hda5. Now since the way I partitioned my harddisk is
that I have one primary
NTFS partition(hda1 with XP on it) and one extended primary parition (which
has 4 logical partitions on it
and Debian is on one of them). Now in partition magic 8 I cannot resize the
extended primary partition(maybe because
So I'm left with 2 choices:
Resize the first primary partition. (Which leads to
my question as whether it would cause MBR boot at the wrong
partition?)
Destroy everything on my second primary partition.
So I get everything I want, only have to reinstall Debian again.
;-(
Please advise,
Thanks,
Wei
