Its not enough now that i have to install service pack 3. so i though i should extend the partition. how successful is this?. i was thinking to do it from utilities in Hirens Boot CD. What say?.	gum digger (6100)

Defrag both drives then create a new partition at the end of the second one then move data from second to third and then merge one and two.	mikebartnz (21)
