You can do a few different things with Partition magic, like making
partitions grow etc. Need really to know how the hard dick is set up, and
how much free space there is on each partition you have already.
With that I may be able to help you move the partitions about ,and delete
any you do not want, and keep all your data.
If you can draw a picture of take a copy of the screen from Partition magic,
it would help a lot.

This is the scenario:
My hard drive was going bad. Ordered a replacement, and due to the holiday,
it took a few more days. I received the hard drive, and was too busy with
work to do what I wanted to do in the first place, which was to cut down my
partitions and start with a clean slate, although saving my years of
documents and downloads and email. The hard drive arrived, and since I had
no time to do what I wanted to, and also due to mail volume and needing to
clear the messages off my server, I made the one going bad a slave, and used
the MaxBlast to just copy it to the new one. I now want to do my original
plan, which is to cut down the number of partitions that I have, and clean
up my 'puter.
I tried Norton Ghost before, and DriveImage, but they did not work. I now
have time to back up stuff to CD. Many things do not conform to the Joliet
Standards as per Nero, but I seem to be able to save most of the stuff, by
either zipping or raring them.
I tried OE backup..., errors, I tried DirectCD....., errors. acckkk...
My questions are:
If I use either the MaxBlast again, or Partition Magic, how do I set up the
saved stuff to a partition that is larger now than I have set up?, allowing
me to have handy the stuff that I want to put on the new hard drive.
Is there a CD burning program to save across CD's?
MY OE is so far out of range, I would love to copy only the 200 some empty
folders to it and leave the mega folders in a store file that I can access
later. Basically, I want to save all the messages in the old stuff, but
import the empty folders into OE.
I am sure that I have more parameters, but this will do for a start ;-P
