| subject: | Re: Acronis True Image |
From: "Glenn Meadows"
I've still got a full version of PM 7, that I've been able to use on this
32 gig drive successfully to slide partition sizes around (shrink C and D,
expand E and G as needed, E is boot, most everything else is stored on G).
E was my ancient/old OS/2 HPFS partition back when I dual booted between
Win 98 and OS/2 back on an original 8Gig drive. Then I blew that away when
I moved to Win2K. Then, moved to a 25 gig HD, and added G to the mix.
Cloned all that to the current 32gig that came with my A21p Thinkpad.
(moved from a 770ED to the A21p). Now, I've gone to XP on the laptop for
some application compatibility, and want more space/speed on the HD.
