Sorry that I misunderstood the original email. My case was that I had a 6G and I bought another 80G. When partition magic (it claims that it can handle 80G HD) failed, I used win2k disk manager to make partitions for both win2k and Linux and it worked well.
It is true that win2k can not resize partition. The only tool I used for this purpose is partition magic.
