To Seraphim:
That makes sense. I'll try that, thanks.
To bob:
No, here's what I did: I had just one partition (sda1) and I figured I'd split it into four: Slack, Pup, boot, and swap.
It froze, as I said, in the middle of the process. It must have been in the middle of doing something, which screwed up the drive.

lol, the funny part even though lots of people dislike windows and praise Linux, it does sometimes proves yourself useful and straightens out memory issues inside of machine =)

Ok.

Well, yeah, Windows was built specifically for that machine, it's going to play better with the hardware.

Most machines where built for windows.

This isn't an error, but it doesn't fit anywhere else.
How do I write a bash shell script?
And before I get called a noob, I would like everyone to know that I thought it was obvious too.
Then I tried it, and it didn't work.
So I got on Google, and I looked it up. It was exactly what I thought it was, I had it right.
So I tried it again, and it didn't work.
Now I'm frustrated and asking you.

Do you have Geany installed?

I use nothing else.

Ok, Use the code as the first line of the program(or, at least that's what I think is the code that a BASH script has to start with) and then write all your other lines. Then you save with a .sh extention. You'll also have to make it executable with the permissions.

That may be why. I think I was switching the ! and the # when I did it before, that's all I saw others using anyway was #!/bin/bash. I'll try that.

Ok.

God, this is awkward, I just realized what I did, it's so obvious now. I was running GParted from the Puppy on my hard drive, not on the CD. When it tries to move and resize itself, bad things tend to happen. That's probably it.

Or it can't because it's trying to dismount the partition that Puppy was on and disallow itself from running itself, If that makes sense to you.

Perfect sense.

I know.
