Free is relative wrt pain. What Bruce said *10. Consider what you're doing: 1. Modifying the partition map -- that points the everything on the HD. 2. Modifying the partitions themselves ... which contain discontiguous files. NEITHER was designed to be dynamic. The amount of data movement needed to do this properly can be massive. OFTEN things go wrong. If even one pointer is off -- you will LOSE data. This is SO risky I never ever ever ever ever do it. It is ALWAYS better to make full backups, re-partition the drive cleanly, then reload each volume.
