You can resize other partitions, just not the boot partition which is the one that the Windows system files are located on.

To resize it, use the disk configuration tool after starting up with the 2003 disk. You'll have to reinstall when you do this.

Yes you can, cause i did it.. Use Acronis Partition Expert, it resizes without a reboot, but you must specifiy a drive letter(s) for your new partition. ENJOY

Supported operating systems:

Windows 95 / 98 / Me / NT (including Server) / 2000 (including Server and Advanced Server) / XP / 2003 Server.

After installation Acronis PartitionExpert 2003 lets you create a bootable diskette or CD to create or restore disk image on a computer with any operating system.

Partition Magic will do the trick. Otherwise use Norton Ghost to copy the partition onto another HD, and reinstall. This time be sure to us plenty of space. Another option might be to create an extended partition if you have some unused gigs on your HD.

i dont suggest reszing NTFS ever because windows doesnt like it in the long run

really? I used partition magic on my home machine to create a 98SE FAT32/ 2K Pro NTFS dual boot system with no problems at all. - had to resize the NTFS partition several times before I got it right and the machine has been beautifully stable for about 18 months in this configuration. What should I look out for?

if you ever need to repair it windows will probally think its a "bad" table and not wnat to do anything with it
