ok guys, there bound to be someone who can help, i've got a linux, and i've set all my hd to use it, there's no freespace , all of it was assined to be used for it, ok some ppl told me to use parted! ... does anyone have an idea how to use it? basically i need to resize my partition, and then creat a new one
, i could really use some help, they also told me i could delete my hardisk if i don't know what i'm doing, so i'm not planing to take any chances ;/

Sorry I cant help with gnuparted-I use PartitionMagic or do the partitions I need during install.
What do you need a new partition for?If you plan to make a windows partition you will have to do a new install with windows 1st,then linux.If you want a new linux partition for /home or /var you will also have to re-install I think.
Back up your /home directory to save your personal stuff and put it back afterwards.

I thought about Partition Magic, but I recently bought Partition Commander to re-partition a customers HDD. I know it also works with Linux andd it did a nice easy job on the machine I ran it on.

Harder

I'm a newbie at this, but couldn't you do it from linux? Use that proggie that is used during the install itself. (I think that it's in the controll center or something).
