For that matter any one know of a way to safely resize NTFS partitions
on SATA drives?

How about you guys?  Any one know of a live CD I can use to make a few
recordings or just to test my capture card without "installing" on my
SATA MS MCP box?

Subject: Bootable Linux CD for watching (HD)TV?

I recently bought a FusionHDTV 5 RT Lite card.  It all works
wonderfully, *when it does work*, but it tends to cause a system crash
in Windows after a few hours of viewing.

To isolate the cause to the OS or the hardware, I'd like to try to fire
it up under Linux and let it run.  If it can stay up all night, I know
the real fault is just bad drivers (WHY CAN NOBODY MAKE GOOD TV CARD
SOFTWARE?)

But I don't want to do a full install if I can avoid it.  Most if not
all of the bootable CD's I've seen tend to be missing a TV-tuner app.

I've seen MythKnopp or whatever it's called, and apparently to actually
view stuff you will have to install to the hard drive.

I suspect things might be made even more complex by my use of a fairly
recent nVidia card (7600GS) which IME requires installation of
downloadable drivers, and a network whose combination of static IP
addresses and WPA even stymied Ubuntu 7.04's configuration tools.

Any suggestions?  It's looking like it might be easier to just resurrect
an old PIII box and use that to test the card in.
