Resizing partitins

I remember reading someplace (or at least I think that I remember) that under win2k one should be able to go to the disk manager and resize the size of my partition.
So questions is: is it possible, and if so, what steps should I follow

If you can't find a resolution try using Partition Magic 4.0.

The problem is that partition magic does not want to touch the NTFS partition that win2k created (I think it has to do with changes that microsoft implemented in win2k ntfs format). So I am kind of stuck

Are you using Partition Magic 4.0?

We don't have a problem using it with Win2000 machines that have NTFS partitions.

I have partition magic 4, and it didn't work on the machine that was formatted under win2k with ntfs, but I tried it for the hell of it on another machine that was setup as an upgrade from nt4 to win2k and it worked... so it looks to me like partition magic 4 does not work for the new filesystem.

ftown, I will read the files and try that... quick question though I boot between win2k and 98 (not all programs work to good on win2k will there be problems with win98 using a partition formatted win fat32?

aahhhh, this is kind of dissapointing: there is no way for me to use it, since it will not let me have partitions or logical volumes!!!!!

ftown - what do you do if the partition was originally created with 98?

You can convert it to a dynamic disk but when I try and resize it says cannot because of where it originated from.
