Ahhh, that will be a problem. You'll probably have to backup your stuff to another physical drive to repartition to ext2. I just get someone with a large disk to come over to my house and then we put their disk in my machine and backup all of the stuff that I must keep to their drive. (Usually everything :o) Then I just repartition, and restore my backups. The process can take a few days to get everything working properly again, but it is the only way. I don't trust that repartitioning software enough to let it do my drive without having a backup. 2gig drives are cheap now anyways. Good luck. Mike A.
