tnx jk
I seriously doubt it will resize NTFS from Vista or Win 7.
It should for the XP variety. (and yes there is a difference.)
I knew about XP, but that's not the issue here
fyi: Vista/Win7 have a built in resize tool, so just boot into them and right clisk on the drive to resize IIRC.)

Is it possible to do this from the running Vista on the computer. IIRC there is a resize tool in XP, but it won't work on C: when booted from that drive. I used it recently on a drive plugged into a USB case. My friend's computer is a notebook, so I'd rather not go pulling it apart. Way back when I first installed Linux on my ThinkPad, I used Partition Magic to shrink the NTFS partition, but it won't work on the larger drives that are common today. So, I need some method, using a bootable CD or DVD, that can resize that partition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
