Maybe it was user error on my part. I just wanted to point out that I did what he was trying and had problems. But, in looking in the doco on PM 8.0, I don't see where it says it will move any files around for you, but maybe it's in there somewhere. My impression is it only works at high level and doesn't really get into moving files, but I didn't spend a lot of time reading through it (and probably should have!)
I highly recommend reading documentation, Greg! ;-) See chapter 3, pg. 32 in PM8.pdf, "Notes on Resizing Partitions" "When you resize a partition, data is consolidated, not compressed..."
But back to the topic at hand:
Sunny,
I'd recommend trying out the procedure described earlier by Michael James. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have mentioned PM on this list. Doing so could be considered poor form or bad taste or something along those lines... even if I did pay money for it. Not everybody owns a copy and it doesn't run under Linux, so it's OT... Sorry!
regards,

There's always this free one: http://www.ranish.com/ The Ranish Partition Manager. Though I am not sure whether it caters for NTFS partitions. If not then I apologise for the suggestion. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Take care.
