&gt;&gt;This depends on how much RAM you have, and if you need the Swap space.<br />

Quite right - i can probably afford to lose half of the swap space. I was hoping i could merge this back into my NTFS partition, but perhaps i'll just have to use it as a separate small partition

I've actually reformatted some of the Linux swap as NTFS. Unfortunately, it broke Linux - so it won't boot now!

Above are the details of my pretty packed and small HD. I'm trying desparately to free up space and am wondering if it's going to be possible (with Partition Magic 7.0) to halve my Linux Swap partition, turn into NTFS and merge it with the existing NTFS one? Any other ideas welcome!

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
