Hi, these forums have exploded since I was here last! Ive got an 80gb drive all as one partition but want decrease the size to 70gb so I can have a second bootable partition of 10gb. Ive been using partition magic 8 to do this but when I reboot the computer it only flashes up the partition changes screen (just before it enters windows) then goes, when I go to my computer I find the resize changes haven't been made. Does anyone know what might be going on? It worked in the past when I wanted to install Linux. Ive since formatted the whole drive. Will this be something to do the drive or is it windows or PM8 being a bitch? Hope someone can help, I just got Vista from the microsoft website and want to give it a try. Many Thanks Rik
The forums grown a lot! i've had problems with PM 8 for some reason. So I'd recommend Paragon partition manager, I've used it once after I gave up on PM and its been fine.
i use PartitionExpert now from Acronis bassically cos its cheaper than PM, their new replacement is Disk Director 10 EDIT: and its available for download and you can burn it to a CD & set your BIOS to boot from CD
