Do you really want to do this? Why not just use the partition as it is? Any time you do something like this there is a risk that everything on the drive will be lost or that the drive will start to work strangely. Why not just enjoy the computer as it is? If you need more space, just add a drive. A big new hard drive will cost you less than the commercial software that changes partition size. (Read that last sentence twice.) http://gparted.sourceforge.org is free, but probably too much fun. Acronis Disk Director is $50 and has a decent reputation Partition Magic ($70) used to be great, but was bought by Symantec and has gone the way of all things Symantec -- expensive and buggy. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
