If the person has a copy of Partition Magic on their Winblows system I use that. In many ways it's safer because it will move data as well as the partition. Of course, the way out of that mess in Winblows is to defrag for a few hours and that will bring everything to the front of the existing partition. I also carry the latest PM around with me in case I need it. :-) As far as I know 9.1 can handle NTFS as well as fat32 or even fat16 for those still playing with that alleged file system. :-) ttfn John
