Hello Bram,

I am running version 8.0 of Partition Magic. When I set up my new
computer several weeks ago, I installed Windows XP and then Partition
Magic and used PM to create and re-size partitions. I installed XP on
a brand new unformatted hard drive, and allowed XP install to format
the boot drive partition to NTFS and the whole size of the drive
(120GB). I then used PM to resize that partition down and create new
partitions in the free space. Worked like a charm.

I don't know if Microsoft provides any utilities to re-size an NTFS
partition, I don't believe they do, but PM definitely handles it without a 
problem.

Ron
