Hi guys,
I need to install SuSE on a laptop's 40GB HDD. Unfortunately, even I freed enough space and defrag it from XP, it still keeps some files near the end of the disk. I tried a trial version of Diskeeper as well, still the same - no one wants to move these files to the free space in the middle of the disk.
Do you know any good (and possibly free) tool to do that. Or at least - something which can show me which files are there, so I can copy them over the network and free the space?
Cheers

Hi Sunny, Can't you just shrink the whole partition? That will move the files. I've successfully resized (shrunk) my NTFS partition twice on this system using Partition Magic. I seem to recall reading about other tools (free) that will do the same job, but I paid for PM so that's what I use in these situations. regards, - Carl
