      Looking at your sig I would suggest Partition Magic (<in_a_lower_voice> otherwise use yast2 </end_lower_voice>). But remember that no such software is fail proof. btw do a full defrag first. Regards, Venet. Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos.

I have successfully resized NTFS partitions under NT/2K on multiple machines using Partition Magic 6. I created the Boot Floppies from the CD and then (obviously) boot from them and off I went. It all worked perfectly, but that doesn't mean you won't have problems.

            I've doen this with Partition Magic 7.0 twice with no difficulties. But I'd recommend doing a full defrag first and backup if you can. Regards, Brian Dela :-)
