There is a second file like the swap file: hiberfil.sys, which is used for suspend-to-disk. This can be deactivated too, but don't ask how. But this unmovable-file-in-the-middle-problem must be a NTFS-only problem. With WinXP on FAT32 this isn't a problem. GNU parted didn't warned about anything as I resized from 40GB to 8GB. And the Windows is still running. best Martin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
