Carl is it possible to do this:I have a 100gb hd the whole hd is an ntfs file system, however I only have 46gb of information I want to save ....could I shrink the partition size with out loosing any of the 46gb data and then change the other 54gb to a an LVM ext3 partition, so that I can copy the 46gb of data to the new 54gb linux partition.
I am hoping ntfsresize is a linux program since their is no NT OS just an ntfs partition with my stuff on it.
if not this mount command got me to my music: mount -t ntfs -o uid=admin,gid=admin /dev/hdb1 /home/admin/Desktop/windows1But I would rather have it in linux so then I can share the music on my home network a we bit better ;)

(VFAT is NOT the same as FAT32.) What most people do, and what I did, is to shrink the NTFS partition that Windows is on using ntfsresize, and use some of the free space to create a separate FAT32 partition for data to be shared between Windows and Linux.
