You mean you'd resize a partition without backing up???
You always want to back up before fiddling with partitions.
All the best...

They're FAT32 resizing progs have been pretty good in the past - and
from the times I did use them they worked without destroying any data.
However, I wouldn't use the NTFS resizing application on a
mission-critical computer, or a PC without backing up all your data.
I would wait a few releases for the NTFS resizing to mature, a.k.a. get
all the bugs out :)

Didn't see it in 8.0 (no resizing I've seen in diskdruid so far). Is
this coming in the 9.0 release?
Cheers,
Chris
