[ubuntu-my] How do i burn my 9.04 download to disk pls?

FAT32 and NTFS are Microsoft proprietary partition types. They are used in
Windows XP and Vista(?).

Why defragment them before resizing?
As you use Windows, reading/writing/deleting files, there will be "Gaps" all
over the file system.
Defragging them before will minimize the gaps and make resizing
faster/possible(?).
(Notice the word Minimize. You can't really eliminate the gaps with Windows
defragger. You need add on softwares to do that.)

No worries about fragmentation on ext3. Somebody tried to make a
"defragmenter".. it improved the file system by 0.001% (something like
that..)
