1) I'm doing tests on ext3 and vFat (is vFat ntfs??? I though it was FAT32).
Right now, ext3. Can you tell me on both what I can do? 

2) Cool! 

Thanks!

What format is that partition? fat can be resized, but ext cannot -
PartitionMagic is the only one for resizing ntfs

try using parted, or the gui qtparted - you can get this on the bootable
SystemRescueCD
