>>If a useless person generates a useless post there is a chance the double negative effect can make a it positive again!

I have never found any of your postings to be useless. There is not only no double negative; there is also no single negative in your postings. I hope my way of saying things did not make you think that is what I meant. I meant the exact opposite; that if you are moving a partition there is a reason for it, even if I don't know what it is. My ignorance is my ignorance and has no reflection on your work.

I have a few minutes while guests from the States take a nap, and will use it to Google to try to find out under what circumstances one will want to move a partition.

In case any newbies come here, Saikee is widely recognized across the Web via a multitude of links, as the expert on multi-boot with grub, right here on justlinux.com. Some people will tell you that you cannot have more than one version of Windows on the same machine. Saikee knows how.

I do not always agree with Saikee one hundred percent, but it is never on technical issues. He reminds me somewhat of a man I worked with for some years, and whom I admired very much. Andy was very careful about how he said things, instead of sort of shooting from the hip then correcting our errors when we note them, like most of us do; thus when Andy said something you could count on it.

It is usually on some personal preference on how to get something done, such as my simple multi-boots being done perfectly via Mandriva install CD. His method works great, and he does things that are much more complex than my simple multi-boots. Mine suits me, primarily because I am thus using the same utility I have used since 1999, which becomes TO ME an advantage. As I said, if you don't already have Mandriva nor plan to use it, it makes more sense to download and burn parted.

You can bet if I ever run into something I can't handle, I will be downloading parted and coming to his How-to's.
