Hi,

I'm planning to install FC4 on my laptop (dell i6000) as a dual boot
with the currently installed windows XP. However, when I come to
partition the drive using QTparted via Knoppix CD, QTparted misreports
the usage of the Windows partition(NTFS) saying that ~30Gb of ~33Gb are
used, when running du shows that only 9Gb are used. I tried
defragmenting the disk, but this made no difference. Has anyone else
come across this problem before?

Thanks

perseus
