Use Partition Manager. Create a bootable USB stick that boots into DOS and use the command line version. That way it doesn't matter what os you have installed.
What's the name of it?Quote:

I am sure the partition software will not destroy my data. the software you mentioned, can I used it to resize my partition without data loss?
Sorry, my mistake. I meant to say Partition Magic

It works under Windows and DOS and it won't damage your data. Personally I prefer to do it from DOS but then I'm old school.
thanks for your help, really.
I have checked Partition Magic again just now.
It does not support windows 2003
Thank you anyway.
2 points need making here - firstly resizing partitions introduces a degree of risk, and if your data is important you should *always* take a backup before doing something like this. Secondly if you *must* use a partition resizing tool that you install then I can highly recommend Acronis Disk Director, which comes in a Server variant for use on Server 2003 etc however if you don't *need* to have something that you install then have you considered a linux bootcd to make use of GPartEd? That way you spend no money, you don't have to install any software on your OS and... well, that's it. I know which way I'd be going.
Oh, and don't forget to backup, just in case. Did I mention that?
Rarely has a truer word been said - back up your data before doing anything with a partition manager!Quote:
