265800 2004-08-26 21:35:00 HI , I was wondering if there is some free partitioning software that you can get to shrink the disk. I am Running XP PRO and I can't use the Inbuilt software because you already need to have free space on your computer - and i don't think it does that. ApeNz (4220)
265801 2004-08-26 21:39:00 try 'ranish partition manager' cant remember where to get it sorry but a quick google will tell ya drcspy (146)
265802 2004-08-26 22:18:00 You'll be after QtParted (qtparted.sourceforge.net/) to do GUI Resizing of partitions non-destructively, and you can get the SystemRescueCD (http:) to boot off and repartition :-)

265803 2004-08-27 10:59:00 Partition resizer . presz134, zdnet or the like, runs in dos only resizes, self explanatroy gui, boot dos first of of any floppy .

Back up the mbr just in case (any resize prog) . Test xp reboot BEFORE formatting new partition, dfrag before resizeing opp (any resize prog) .

Plenty of other gear arround thats, better, this is simple and free, Havent personall used it with NT/FS XP default . Check compatability .

265805 2004-08-27 22:09:00 Hi ApeNz
I happen to have the link that drcspy mentions showing in my AZZ Cardfile.
It is -

www.ranish.com

Having said that I do not in any way recommend it as I just do not know. It is something just kept as a potential resource sometime in this or the next life !!

Personally I would follow what Chilling Silence recommends as at least we know that he knows what he is doing.
Good luck
Misty ;)
