I've used this method successfully a couple of times also. One thing I found was that the disk sector referenced in the article was not the same as on my disks.

From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 2:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HDD repartitioning I've tried Acronis Disk Director 10 which we own, and GParted to resize partitions of a drive that has two dynamic disk volumes, Acronis gives me an "dynamic disks not supported" error, and GParted gives me what looks like a similar error. GParted lets me get to the resize an "apply" part, then gives me an error. I have plenty of free space, I just need to reallocate some to the OS partition. Anyone have an idea for what I should try next?
