Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00	I have a dual boot WinXP/Mandrake Linux with two hard drives. I recently upgraded to v8.2, and attempted to resize my second hard drive (HDB). It was originally set half/half FAT32/Linux, for file storage only. I tried to delete the linux partition and resize the FAT32 to the full 30GB. The problem is now it won't let me mount this partition, and neither Windows or Linux will recognise the hard drive. Is there any way I can fix this without losing the 13 Gigs of data that I have on the drive? (I realise I should have done a backup first, I'm an idiot...)

I don't have an answer for you, however, I did hear that the new version of Mandrake had the automount featured removed or some shit. If you go to this site, I am sure you can find your answer, or you can post your question. AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00	Thanks, I'll check it out. I've already gone to www.mandrakeexpert.com, but that site is harder to navigate than Foundry. AOL IM- DegnerNJ DegnerNJ@OpieAnthony.com "Before you walk down this road, you'd better have a map."-Me Get free condoms

O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	Next time... sign up as a new female member, get yourself a hot sig pic, and then asked all the horny boys for help getting mounted. If you would have done that, you would have definitely received more help. ;) AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
