Don't look to bad, as long as you are willing to give it some time, a you may need to move files etc around each time you change a partition. ----- Original Message ----- From: "nightsneak1" <nightsneak1@xxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 2:52 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: partition questions Trevnal, Here is what I have, and what I want to do: Current: total size free space c: 4.75GB 653MB d: 4.74GB 4.71GB e: 4.74GB 4.74GB f: 4.74GB 1.74GB g: 962MB 764MB (this is swap file) h: 19.0GB 16.7GB i: 19.0GB 16.3GB j: 18.1GB 1.72GB Change to: c: 10.0GB (will reformat this for dual boot) d: 10.0GB (will reformat this for dual boot) e: 10.0GB (current h:) f: 10.0GB (current i:) g: 40.0GB (combine current f: and j:) Thanks, nightsneak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevnal" <trev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 3:18 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: partition questions | | 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. | | Trevnal | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "nightsneak1" <nightsneak1@xxxxxxx> | To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 7:03 AM | Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- partition questions | | | | This is the scenario: | | My hard drive was going bad.
