How do I get the resized partition to show up correctly?
(No, I cannot purchase Partition Magic or PC Card)

Hello,

I have done this kind of dual-boot, triple-boot with Win98, NT, 2000 on my
laptop, Linux with Partition Magic software for years when I had a limited
systems at work and home.
Finally I dropped this stuff since I can't afford wasting time for moving
one system to another.
I guess the best tool I have used was Partition Magic ( version 5.01 above
allows for Windows 2000, XP). There are other tools as well such as Disk
Commander?.
It is really easy to resize the disk space, or add/remove the boot systems.

You know what, one time at my previous work place I had experienced putting
PC Card into Macintosh.
This PC card allows real time dual boot, it runs both systems Mac and PC
windows 98 simultaneously,
when I switch one system to the other, hit Ctrl + Alt + S. ( of course, you
can define these key combinations).
It was neat, but it consume a lot of memory(RAM), you can allocate the
memory as well.

I hope it helps,

Hello,
I have a dual boot (Win 98, RH 7.3, Dell Dimension) system.
Recently I reinstalled Win 98 and also upgraded to RH 7.3.
I tried to resize the partition. Using Disk Druid/Fdisk
However from Win 98, I still see the old value of the disk size.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Anil
