    Can I make the partition Sythem larger with Morph without having to format with HDconfig or is everything lost? I dare not play with this without knowing it, otherwise everything might be gone.
    I did a standard installation of Morphos 3.13 and Chrysalis.
    Now I have too little space when I start using UAE and a lot of extra's.

    Or does anyone know if this goes with Amiga os4.1? ( HDtoolbox )
    There is probably not much difference between Morph and Amigaos in this.

    No, partitions cannot be resized on the fly on AmigaOS and MorphOS.

    Actually, you could, provided all contents after the paritition you've enlarged becomes lost - there's no way to move data (other than backing it up). Boot from CD, change the size in HDConfig, save partition layout, boot the CD again and run SFSDoctor. That ought to do the trick.

    If you still would like to keep your already installed system, backupping to some SFS (or other Amiga compatible filesystem) works too (external USB storage can be formatted to SFS etc). After backupping you can just boot from MorphOS CD, resize and format the needed partitions, and copy your backup back to the partitions. Use MirrorCopy if you have softlinks (SDK installed) or standard "Copy source:#? dest: ALL CLONE QUIET" in other cases.
