Thanks. >=20 > -Zhihui >=20 Repartitioning is always at least *slightly* dangerous, so in any event=20 back up your data. The safest/easiest way to do what you want is to get=20 another hard drive, if you have the $$. JB PS: I'm sure Staples in Vestal has some cheap HDDs :) # John Bleichert=20 # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg ********************************************* ********************************************* If it will take you less than 30 days to do this ;), BootItNG from http://www.terabyteunlimited.com will do what you want quickly and easily. It is very well-documented. The 30-day reference is because BootItNG is shareware with a 30-day free trial. If you decide to purchase, it is $29, about half the cost of Partition Magic. In my experience with PM 4-5 and BootItNG, BootItNG is much easier to use and works better.
