Knoppix did not run properly on the system. The latest Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit seems to work well. I am now working to repartition the hard drive. Windows has a tool to do this. I first needed to defrag the disk. I have a 1Tb hard drive. After defrag by Window only 500Gb was available for a new partition. Windows stores a few sectors in the middle of the hard drive. I used Perfect Disk to defrag on the default settings and I was not able to reduce the size of the defrag. It did not remove the excluded sectors in the middle of the disk. I guess that I can use Gparted to repartition but I do not know what data is stored in the middle of the partition. Does anyone have any suggestions? I do not want to allocate 500Gb to a Windows partition. Thanks in advance for the help. Jay
