I personally just HATE resizing NTFS partitions - it's risky at best - if you ARE successful, then all the more power to ya...but if not, then you've been warned. For dual boot systems I prefer to "set it up right the first time" - I understand, however, that the rest of the world ain't "the perfect world". Really sucks that companies have the ability and the forced right to create proprietary file systems along with proprietary applications and operating systems - but I reckon that's the politics of business...sad, but true... stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reporters like Bill Greider from the Washington Post and Him Naughton of the New York Times, for instance, had to file long, detailed, and relatively complex stories every day -- while my own deadline fell every two weeks -- but neither of them ever seemed in a hurry about getting their work done, and from time to time they would try to console me about the terrible pressure I always seemed to be laboring under. Any $100-an-hour psychiatrist could probably explain this problem to me, in thirteen or fourteen sessions, but I don't have time for that. No doubt it has something to do with a deep-seated personality defect, or maybe a kink in whatever blood vessel leads into the pineal gland...
