I usually use Acronis TrueImage ($$) to do this for Windows NTFS volumes. make a partition image on a seperate device, then delete and repartition the disk into whatever you want, then restore that partition image to the resized volume. note that in TrueImage (and in Ghost), a 'partition image' is more like a exfs 'dump', its really a file by file backup, done at the NTFS equivalent of an inode level. I strongly dislike and distrust any tool that attempts to do in-place partition resizing, the results are rarely optimal and if anything goes wrong, you lose the whole mess. With the image, repartition, restore technique, every step is restartable and you have a full backup. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
