Have you got this problem solved?
Did you get Acronis?

Sam,
Went and dl'd the trial copy of DD10 from Acronis. I do recognize the windows. Trouble is, the trial version will NOT let me do any of the basic operations! Even though the webpage indicates these operations are available. Very confusing. The only operation it did allow was to change my current unallocated space back to the old D:\ partition. I still can NOT RESIZE the C:\ partition. Acronis lets me set the operation up, but at Commit/Proceed an error window pops up saying that this operation is "impossible" with the trial edition-would I like to buy........... :) Going to snoop around for an older version.

Either one will do what you want.

Been studying the Disk Manager in XP. I would dearly like to extend my current c:\ partition to now span the remaining 4.27GB on the hard drive. Last night I backed up and got rid of the d:\ partition on the same drive. So, now I have my c:\ partition (system) at 4.27GB, and an Unallocated 4.27GB space on the same drive.

Reading the details of the Disk Manager, and, buried deep in the directions, it says the EXTEND command will NOT allow extending a system/boot partition! Huh? Anyone know why this is so?

I suspect that the MBR may get dorked up and/or I may have to use the Repair Console again to do a CHKDSK c: /R followed by the bootcfg /rebuild commands .... (well if it worked........ :)

I do have a variety of disk partition tools here, but none will play on a full U160 scsi system! And, I do hot have a spare pata CDROM to swap into the system....... :(
Thanks,
Duncan
