re re-partition Kubuntu 3-partitions on 40gb

[Ray Burke]

Nils in X,
 
I cant remember but I think on the 29gb /home I had used about 8gb
and on the 7gb /root used 7gb
it didnt even complete any of the two steps, was still runing
resize 29gb down to 20gband " After assuring that the /swap partition is unmounted"
I didnt understand that meant swapoff???????
sorry.
 
I also reboot to see what the disc's were saying but could not even boot
into the new partition k as error monunting as saying to fsck the disk?????
 
ray
PS I have clonned the corrupt new k from my old k(lucky I done a copy)
but this time using paragon drive copy 8 while in my xp pro as not even
sure when I conned a backup  thru ghost3 it worked??????
