HELP... mounting a drive to add space to primary partition
im running out of space on by installation partition.. the culprit being the system32 folder. so ive decided to mount a drive in the windows folder named system322... what i want to do is copy the contents of the system 32 folder to the mounted drive, delete system 32 folder and rename system322 to system32.
er thats were the problem starts :). the recovery console wont let me copy any more than one file at a time .. and i dont think it will let me copy folders..
win98 startupdisk is out of the question since it wont read the ntfs partitions im using.
how can i do this? im a little stuck..
can i use windows xp enviroment variables to create a value for the sytem32 folder.. pointing it to the newly mounted drive?
thanks in advance
Answering something not aimed at me at all ..

Errrrrrrr Not being a linux chappie at all (you might better ask this as a seperate question in a/our linux forum) but does any linux incantation write 'correctly' to a ntfs partition ? I don't think so - anyone else ? I know they read but I thought .... Which was part of why I was so scathing earlier about how to fix it
