[olug] Of Defraggers and Partitions (or how greedy is Win2k?)

[Craig Wolf]

I had to use Partition Magic or start from scratch with Win2k and then
install GNU/Linux.

Any one else have these problems?  So, I finally downloaded the three
Mandrake Install CDs and burned them this morning.  I backed up my
system to
external firewire drive and defragged with Win2k defrager (snap-in).  I
booted off the CD #1 and tried resizing my FAT32 Win2k partition (20GB)
into
two 10GB partitions (Win2k FAT32 and Mandrake), but it only lets me have
a
partition of 300 mb.  What gives?  I also tried FIPS and Partition
Resizer
with the same exact outcome.  My theory:  there is some stupid small
file
near the end that is causing the resizers to return small partitions. 
So, I
need a solution or a DOS FAT32-compatible defragger.  Know of any?
