Sam,
Yes I did solve the problem. I used PartitionMagic7. The partition(s) is/are
happy and well. All is back to normal again.
The Acronis trial-ware would only let me LOOK; but it would not
let me DO anything.
Thanks,
Duncan

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. At 09:42 12/27/2008 -0800,

\I suggest you download a trail copy of the above Acronis Disk Director
or get a copy ofthe old Power Qwest Partition Magic
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
