I have a problem with an old desktop running etch. Before it was
running XP + etch dual boot. But recently I have deleted the whole XP
partition. Now the problem is I started running out of space for the
etch. I want to resize the partition so that I can install more
programs and stuff like that. The current partition is like
hda1 - 5G (before running XP)
hda2 - 1G ( etch is living here)
So I'd like to resize hda2 but I can't as it said I need to unmount
hda2 before resizing. People suggest using a live CD but it's not
possible with my old laptop (I didn't even install etch using CD, I
can only install etch via goodbyemicrosoft.com). USB boot is also not
available.
Have you considered reinstalling onto hda1 without removing hda2?
Use debootstrap from your existing system. Make a grub-disk (floppy, so
your laptop can boot it) so that you can set up your boot loader if
something happens.
See the installation manual for installing from an existing unix system.
