| subject: | Re: Go from NT to Win2k and increase partition size? |
From: vwheeler I did my NT4 with an older version (4 or 5) of Partition Magic. PM will not run in NT however it works fine from the bootable floppy/CD. The only problem I had was the Boot.ini file PM modified it adjusting for the additional partitions. Randall Parker wrote: > Geo, > > I have 1.73 Gigs used on the C: drive.
