Hi everybody, RPM works fine, but I wonder if I can use labels instead of filetypes when it comes to boot one particular OS. Can I get a screen like this: 1...
This is exactly what I want as well. I would much rather see something described as "Solaris x86 Partition" instead of "Linux Swap Partition" (given that the...
Cliff, Thanks for your advice. It turned out to be a hardware problem. Cheers ... From: Cliff Merrow To: partman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003...
Hi All: I've read all the FAQs and documentation and I was able to partition my disk using RPM 2.43. So far so good.... I've got 6 partitions under the 8G...

Hi, I have installed RPM v.37 3+ years ago and created 4 partitions. I am dual-boot US win 98 and Japanese win 95 using advance boot manager. My partition...
Don't panic! You've got the number starting and ending positions of each of your "old" partitions. All you need do is enter those numbers in again. DO NOT...
Hi, Jie: As Norm said, you don't need panic since you have all number there. The difference of RPM 2.37 and 2.43, besides 243 handle larger than 8 GB HD, boot...
Hi, Vince/Norm, Thanks for your quick reply and valuable advice. I finally got time this weekend to install RPM 2.43. Instead of moving Win 95, I left it alone...
Hello I'm all for free small apps. But can you develop RPM to support other file systems? Or are there any other apps that do this for free or not much? Ta...
Yes.... it supports all of those and many more. It doesn't care what the file system is, it only cares about the where it is, ie. cyl, head, sector. ... From:...
Documentation says something about not report space correctly but frankly I havn't paid attention to those numbers. But in your case I wonder if you arn't...
Hi, Just a little backgroud at first, details please see emails below. I have used RPM 2.37 before and recently installed V2.43. While my windows 98 and...
Sorry, should have been more specific with my question. I meant so RPM can do stuff like resizing & moving patitions like ntfs etc. But reading thru the...
hi i've been using rpm for the past 6 months (since i installed linux). the problem i find with rpm is as follows. my HD partitions can be described as hda1 -...
The answer is still yes but with qualifications.... It doesn't move as such. You set up a new partition and can copy one to the other. You can then delete the...
Cheers Norm That makes things a little more interesting. So for example I have a large NTFS partition which I've defraged to get all the data at one end,...
Yep, that's the idea! Defrag to get data to the front of the old partition. Note how much space the data occupies. Get into RPM and adjust the ending c/h/s...
Don't do this! It is better to leave the resizing to the utilities (meant for doing it) than using RPM for this purpose. 1. You may lose your complete...

It's easy to go wrong no matter how careful you are if the application doesn't support the function in the first place. RPM supports resizing of FAT partitions...
Hello all, I've just bought a 200 GB 7200rpm internal drive by Maxtor supposing my K7S6A could see all of it, but the BIOS says it's an ATA-100, 137 GB (in...

The problem is that many older ( 5 years+ ) BIOS's had a limit around 137 GB , so if the maker has basicly droped sapport ( no new updates ) then your stuck...
Hello samnnes, ... AFAIK, it's not only the BIOS fault (they had problems with 2, 8 and 32 GB barriers, but you could get around them without updates if you...
