Subject: [gentoo-user] Change Partition Type
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2006 15:52:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <558b73fb0608031252x20ec2d17o7e46220473d5db15@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have a laptop and when I initially setup the partitions I
anticipated that I would install Windoze along side of Linux for
gaming purposes, I now realize that this is never going to happen and
would like to change the partition type from NTFS to Linux Native. Is
it possible to do this without hurting the other partitions on the
disk? I really can't afford to re-format/re-install the whole machine
right now.

The partition structure looks like this:
hda1 -> NTFS (unformatted, want to convert over to Linux Native + ext3)
hda2 -> Swap
hda3 -> Linux Native (formatted ext3 with Gentoo installed)

-Mike
