Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

and this is the final part of my message..

3. if i decide to dump linux, can you suggest me links where i can find
technical information (or if you wanna tell me here on this forum i'd
appreciate) about how to format the linux partition and resize the windows
partition to take all the 30 gigas of my HD? if i resize windows partition
can i loose all the documentation in "my documents"? from the first time i
reinstalled everything i discovered "my documents" was untouched. Still am
gonna do back up of all my info on the laptop

4. if i decide to keep linux and get it operational ? can you suggest me
links about how still resize the linux partition? i want to reduce it to 5
gigas cuz 15 gigas its too much disk space wasted (specially if am not gonna
store my main info there, i;ll do that in windows). Can i still lose info in
"my documents"?

thanks for your answers

All you need for an excellent eXPerience is to install Windows XP
on one partition. You do not need a sub-standard O/S such as Linux.

Roberto, search for your name in this group using Google Groups Advanced
Search. You have lots of other answers in your previous posts. If you
can't learn to use newsgroups (and I've given you information about
doing that in an earlier post), you're going to have a really hard time
learning a new operating system.

Read the answers you have already gotten. Decide what you'd like to do.
Take the machine to a shop and have them set it up the way you want,
correctly. If you decide to keep the dual boot, great. Use Google to
research how to use Linux. Start with the homepage of whatever distro
you have installed. Then if you have questions about Linux, post in a
Linux newsgroup. There are plenty of newsreaders for Linux, too.

Good luck,

Malke

IGNORE CAREY! IT IS A F***ING MS ROBOT OR SOMEHING. LIKE cheetahman said,
join us on www.linuxforums.org and learn more about this "sub-standard" OS.
btw, Carey, are you sure you aren't getting linux confused with windows as
the "sub-standard OS".

Do the words narrow-minded, blinkers or proselytizing mean anything to you?
It is clear that you would be a nobody in life, since you don't acknowledge
the fact that competition could exist, or exists. Even an employee of MS
wouldn't dismiss Linux as 'a sub-standard OS'.

You've never used Linux, have you Carey?

There is nothing sub-standard about modern Linux distros nor any I've
used in the last several years, it's just not Microsoft Windows (which
is obviously your "standard") and was never intended to be.

The only thing sub-standard in this thread is your reply to it.

And Windoze has the same roots, except MickeyMouse couldn't get it right.

You see what I mean when I said before you'd really started something?

To dump Linux just format the partition it's on, that's all you need to
do. To safely resize partitions w/o losing any data you'll need 3rd party
software. I've had very good luck with Partition Commander, you'll find
it at http://www.v-com.com/product/Partition_Commander_Home.html

To restore the Linux boot manager that was overwritten when you installed XP
follow the instructions in my previous post and then you can use Partition
Commander to resize the partitons.
