| subject: | Re: Go from NT to Win2k and increase partition size? |
From: Randall Parker Geo, I have 1.73 Gigs used on the C: drive. How many CDs would that take? 3? For some reason I was expecting CDs to be too small for the job. But maybe not. DriveImage: It uses .NET and they do /not/ list NT as a supported OS. See here: http://www.pcplus.co.uk/reviews/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=19356&subsec tionid=373&subsubsectionid=65 Worse yet, they do not appear to sell DriveImage any more. PowerQuest was bought by Symantec and now the link to DriveImage 7 resolves to a Ghost page. Check out here: http://www.powerquest.com/ Norton Ghost doesn't list NT as supported either: http://www.powerquest.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/ Partition Magic does list NT as supported: http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/ So do I have any other choices besides PartitionMagic?
