How to enlarge my NTFS partition (C:)?
Since this is my boot-up drive, Windoiws NT 4.0 does not allow me to resize it.

I am not in the posession of Partition Magic!
Is resizing still possible?

yes it is possible

use disk administrator. Thios only works if you do not have extended partitions on the hard drive, AND it is formatted in NTFS

Well, if it IS possible with Disk Admin, then I obviously need a little more of an explaination. I'm trying to enlarge my C: (NTFS) disk, using Disk Admin, to eat up the *Free Space* at the end of the hard drive. C: is the only partition present - no extendeds or anything. But, Disk Admin tells me that it can't resize the partition with the WinNT system files on it. So, like I said, if it can be done - PLEASE HELP ME! I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND!!! I inherited this complex system from the previous adminitrator, and this disk was originally partitoned with a way-too-small root (not good planning). Now it's out-grown it, and I'm trying to resize it. Sigh...
