I wouldn't. Not if you want your wife and kid to be happy.

Is there open source software to shrink the Win2K partition that is 100% safe?

No


Maybe, in a way. Copy the Win2K partition to a larger, newer drive, and set the old one aside as a backup. If the drive has been in there since W2K, it may not have too much elbow room anyway.



Can it toast the Windows installation?

Yes
