Can I do that? I've already tried the partition Magic demo but it won't run! It keeps saying that the partitions drive letter can't be identified. I've heard that the Ranish Partition Manager can resize partitions but I'm not sure whether it destroys data or not. Any other Programs out there?

What version is the DEMO. Because only version 7 works on 2000 or XP (maybe 6 on 2000). If the Physical Drive structure contains MFT or FAT (structures erros) it well not run. It may ask you if you want it to correct the errors, then it probably won't boot at all after that. The Demo is Limited USE. But it does allow you to NON-Distructively resize existing partitions.

After reading that, I ment - The Demo is Limited in USE. The Full Product functions as advertised. Sorry for the incorrect context in the last line of the previous message.

Hi, Maybe I did something wrong, but I used PQMAGIC.exe version 5.0 from a recovery floppy after booting a MS-DOS version of win98SE from another floppy. I successfully shrunk and expanded and also shifted partitions with Win2000 NTFS and other FAT32. The only trick is: do only one action in a time. I lost a lot of data, when I tried to do multiple actions in one session. You will be lost also, if you loose power in the middle of changing something. PQMAGIC also reports some errors, which I don't allow it to fix, like LBA and CHS values have to be equal or such.
