I am using Windows NT.
I have 3 partitions, plus about 2 Gb more of un-partitioned free space.
I could create a 4th partition with this free space.
But what I would like to do is increase one of the partitions in size by that amount with-out losing the data.
The NT disk manager will not let me change the size, or maybe I am doing something wrong.
Can anyone help me?

The easiest way to change partition size without data loss, that I have found is to use Partition Magic 7.0 from PowerQuest. It's a great program and really easy to use.

Remember were talking about Microsoft here, anything they can think of to make a buck.

Thanks, I read enough that PM can do this.....but I was really looking for a MS tool or way so I wouldn't have to purchase ANOTHER program to do something Windows or MS should make possible anyways....
Imagine buying a car $$$$$.$$ and then not being supplied with a tool $$ to change the tire....or a car manufacture that doesn't even make one....
