subject: Re: Go from NT to Win2k and increase partition size?

From: vwheeler 

If your going to replace the HD anyway use Partition Magic or Acronis Disk
Director (Partition Expert) both will copy the partitions and allow them to
be expanded. This way you will keep the original HD intact. I have done
this many times just beware of the 127G limit.
