| 297471 | 2004-11-28 22:19:00 | How to change partition sizes with xp. I think I remember making something like a dos entry to do this. That's about all I remember though? All help appreciated, |

| 297472 | 2004-11-28 22:23:00 | You need something like Partitionmagic. | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 297473 | 2004-11-28 22:30:00 | If you're not worried about losing data on them and aren't needing to touch your System partition, use Computer Management from Control Panel > Administrative Tools | Greg S (201) | ||
| 297474 | 2004-11-28 23:02:00 | If there is data on them you will need Partition Magic It have a neat utility which will resize your partitions without losing the data. | theotherone (1421) | ||
| 297475 | 2004-11-28 23:22:00 | make sure you back up your important data, when i partitioned and resized my drive for linux i lost my win xp data, but i think that was my fault, but still be carefull and back up! | Prescott (11) | ||
| 297476 | 2004-11-28 23:52:00 | and by that he means to back it up to a drive outside the machine (i.e. DVD-/+RW usb drive or CDR or another HDD other than the ones you want to work with. and you will need to have your system disks (o/s and all the other software just incase you lose it all and have to reinstall. Best plan - make an image of your harddrive using NortonsGhost or some such (to another HDD) and then you can reload your HDD from there. Sound complicated? the PDF file for partition magic is about 180 pages long. However, when I did mine recently it went like a dream and without any glitches. Good luck |
