Yes, you'll be doing it in 3 steps:
1. Shrink the FAT32 partition 2. Slide the FAT32 partition to the "top" of the drive 3. Expand the NTFS partition to use the free space Carl From: Lee Douglas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:35 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: NTFS and FAT32 on the same HD Carl, Thanks! I was hoping to hear from you on this. Just to be clear, BootIT NG should permit me to shrink the FAT32 partition and make that extra space available for the NTFS partition, all on the single HD - right?

Don't expect blistering performance. Since no drivers are needed, all disk I/O is done with BIOS calls and some BIOS can be very very slow... BTW on the repeated mentions of gparted here - I tried the gparted live CD recently and used it to shrink a Vista system partition. When it was done Vista wouldn't boot. A Vista recovery CD was able to fix that. To be fair, I haven't tried the exact same operation on Vista with BootItNG yet but I bet it would have been OK. Never had any problems when BootItNG modified system partitions for 2003/XP/2000.
