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 -- ________________________________ Michael E.
