If u use windows xp and it is installed in the C: drive then resizing the drive would kill ur installation as XP will not recognize the drive after resizing. Though u can skip that using some registry hacks. :wink:

But if u r not using XP or XP is not on C: drive then u can easily change the drive's space in disk management console. To open it simply go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and then go to the Disk Management under the storage tab. :p

I have done it using GParted. A student of mine had a laptop with a single partition (like all these crazy manufacturers supply). I resized 80 GB to 20 GB. When I rebooted it said new hard disk found.......blah blah, your device is installed and ready to use. I rebooted again for safety...you know windows :)
No problems after that.

Best Solution go for Partition Magic 8.0 as you got Windows XP *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif in your assembled PC ;-)
