The only issue with gnome is that it doesnt auto install the gnome-bluetooth file rx/tx deb which is a pain. Once its in it works great. Hi Adrian

Unfortunately its not free, but I know it works and works safely. That said, depending on what you\'re doing, you may find it easier to back up your data to an external hard drive, and start from scratch." AND "If you really want to look at them, possible open-source alternatives include resizentfs and gparted, but I can\'t recommend either without a \'Danger! Danger! May destroy your data and eat your puppy!\'-style warning, as I haven\'t used them myself and have know knowledge as to their current reliability." So... I took the easy route and followed their advice! Hi Mathew

I'm wondering why you used Partition Magic. Did you try GParted or QTParted? Of course, backups are always important either way... Linux actually can read NTFS by default. It just can't write, which is what NTFS-3G is designed for. Congratulations! I’m wondering why you used Partition Magic. Did you try GParted or QTParted?
